Sometimes I get AM popping up n the lower SW bands, but , when using a pre
selector
( MFJ 1046) it knocks down antenna input a bit. No free lunch;
- So I just listen to the murmering in the background.
Its a Much Bigger problem with my $11.00 Analogue / Digital display
JWIN JX -M14
- Wonder if I could hook up some ugly gaget to the Antenna input of the Jwin to
eliminate overload;

- Leaving just
the Crop Circle / Chemtrail / New World Order /
Economic apocolypse / Bible Thumping ,Money Grubbing signals
of Domestic SWR programs..

& of course 12095 broadcasting the BBC from Ascension Island;
off the west coast of Africa
& 7415, WBCQ, Monticello Maine on weekends

I've been using the Sony 7600GR with a 40 FT outdoor wire fed into the house
with coax for awhile now. My results are OK most of the time- but I usaully
just leave the antenna input near the radio or use the attenuator. My
problem is strong interferance from local AM stations as I live in the
middle of a city of 250,000. Can anyone recommend a preselector or similar
device? I'm thinking of the MFJ-956. I've already been warned that these
gizmos won't take me to radio heaven. The Vectronics AT100 looks neat- but
I suppose I can't get away with using any gain? Also, I will soon be
re-installing my antenna because I'm moving my listening area to another
room: I wonder how important the direction of the wire antenna is? I live
in the Midwest, so many of my shortwave stations come from the east. It's
most conveniant for me to run the antenna east\west- but I could do it N\S
if the overall performance will make it worthwhile. I'd appreciate any
feedback on this- no, let's make that INPUT.
Thanks!
