Antenna wire
#23

If your radio has a loop antenna, just make another loop on that loop of about 3 - 5 turns of smallish insulated stranded wire. I use number 24 PVC insulated wire for this. Make it the same size as the windings of the original loop and tape it over the old windings. make sure you have leads on the end long enough to extend out of the cabinet. Then just hook your antenna to one end, and ground to the other. This will GREATLY increase what the radio picks up. If your old loop is the kind that is woven in and out of cuts in a cardboard or beaverboard form, just weave the new windings on that outside of the original windings.
