Ron, that would be great. Here in Chicago, there's not a great deal on AM anymore except sports and talk radio.
Terry, thanks much for the phone call. I put the chassis back in the cabinet and ran a ground lead to the center screw of the outlet. That seems to have helped me pull in more stations. I'm listening to (background noisy) WBBM, will see how long it holds out for. I'll give your screen cap finger test a try if it ends up cutting out.
