help finding the antenna on my 37-660 ?
#6

Thanks, it's a beauty for sure. There was an estate sale in Oakland, CA with a room full of old radios of all makes and models. I got this baby for $120, and just looking at it every morning makes it worth the price alone. I did hook up an AM antenna to it and can get a better signal, but unfortunately the strongest stations are Radio Disney and a Chinese language station coming from somewhere in the Bay Area. The rest is all talk radio. I'm thinking the same antenna setup for AM probably wouldn't work for the other bands, would it? I had an old short wave radio as a kid and seem to recall having only one long wire connected to one screw on the back. That setup allowed me to pick up stations all over the world. This radio has four bands, and I'm assuming one of them is short wave.
