Home AM radio station
#14

OK, I'm going to take Ron's advice and have my Philco rebuilt into tip top condition. Icon_biggrin

However, I finally had time to set up my AMT3000 permanently as a home station to broadcast around my house. I'm looking for tips and tricks to get the best reception. Should I run a wire from basement to the attic as transmitter antenna? Should I make a coil in a big piece of wood like they did in the old days? Not surprisingly, old radios that are AM only pick up the signal WAY WAY better than brand new ones made as an iPod stand. LOL

That XM 40's on 4 sounds so fine as you move from radio to radio throughout the house. Happy. (except for the Philco not working)

AM 1530 Riverside Radio (my home AMT3000 station)
