I wonder how the proper grounding effects operation of a radio.
For example, my 70 receives plenty with a 10ft of wire with no ground.On another hand, Atwater 84, which came with a 30 ft of old antenna wire will not accept anything shorter than that and only when I drop the first 10 ft on the ground and then raise it up.With all 30ft up it does not do as good. Now, if I ground the set, then it is completely different story-I can raise the entire 30 ft and it operates as great as my 70.
P.S.Both sets are aligned as per instructions.
