So I took a three week hiatus, but that's okay because the 39-30 works now. I took it into the AHRS today and we got rid of the 60 Hz hum. We put in 3 new electrolytic capacitors. But there is still a problem. It worked absolutely great on the AHRS building's antenna, but when I got home, the stations are very weak, but they're there. There is also an ever present scratchiness in the sound.
