After dinner, I completed the IF wiring replacement and put the radio on the long-wire. Very good reception was the result on all bands. The odd behaviour on SW was restored and medium wave (AM) very lively indeed. Of particular note, was very good reception of BBC World Service on 12015 Khz, coming in like a local. Also WWV stations on 5, 10 and 15 MHz were all present and well received.
I don't hold with furniture that talks.
