I have a Model 90L Lowboy console and I had it setup at the previous house with a "radiator" ground and a random long-wire antenna out to a tree in the yard, with a lightning arrestor and a short coax lead-in. I was DX-ing all over NA and Canada at night with that simple superhet, loving it. Granted, separating close stations was tough, but every clear-channel station was hard to miss, and a added a few new catches here and there. Antique Fun. :-)
