Tried an alignment with the loop antenna connected. the bottom of the am band is weaker than the top. a local station at 550 came in weak during the day, but at night i cant get anything below 750. but it can receive a signal from the generator 5 feet away on this lower part of the am band. the short wave seems to work it if the volume is 3/4 of the way up. now the push buttons that worked won't receive anything even a signal generator.
