Okay, I just finished recapping a little four tube AM radio, Brand name Meridian. Fired it up and I can barely hear the stations, but when I grab the antenna (cardboard back) it gets loud and clear. I mean great reception! So I hooked up a 25' wire to the external antenna loop and not a bit of help...what's going on?
