Hi, I have a Wards 62-319 that has two antenna leads, a #1 and a #2, as well as a black ground. The radio is Broadcast, Middle Wave and Short Wave. The #1 antenna receives great on Broadcast, the #2 lesser so. What is the purpose of that second antenna lead? One piece of documentation says when using the #1 lead twist the #2 lead together with the ground. When I do this there is a slight improvement in reception.
Thanks, Alan

Absolutely no one is going to reverse engineer that circuit. Even the iron core is missing.RodB — 10:37 AM
