ONE WAY AROUNF THE PROBLEM IS TO USE AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA, LEADING TO A COAXIAL CABLE FEEDLINE, TERMINATING AT YOUR ANTENNA LEADS ON THE PHILCO. THIS CREATES MORE SIGNAL IN THE RADIO FROM A SOUCE AWAY FROM THE PELLET STOVE, WHICH IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE LOCAL RF INTERFERNECE CAN STILL GET INTO THE RADIO IF THE SHIELDING OF THE COILS IS LESS THAN COMPLETE. TRY USING A DIPOLE OUTDOOR ANTENNA LOCATED WELL AWAY FROM THE WOOD STOVE, FED BY SOME CABLE TV COAXIAL LINE. PUT THE SHIELD OF THE COAX ON THE CHASSIS, THE CENTER CONDUCTOR ON THE ANTENNA TERMINAL. YOU MAY BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!
