Remember one thing. When you use the line cord for an antenna, that the line cord then needs to be positioned to pick up the best signal. This always made me crazy, since your house wiring also becomes part of it, so sometimes the cord needs to run at odd angles from the radio.

Also, for FM frequencies, 100pf is MUCH too large. 2 to 5pf is more like it.
