Boston using a Hitachi TH-812 (TRF AM/MW Portable Radio) with
an outboard 'inductively coupled' Tunable Ferrite Rod Antenna
Feed by a 65 Foot Random Wire Antenna.

Simplest one you can make is by taking the main tuning capacitor and
ferrite
rod antenna out of an old AM radio, wiring them in parallel, then putting
that
circuit in series with your antenna. That will allow you to peak the
frequency
you're tuned to, reducing all others. If you wire that circuit (an LC
circuit)
from your antenna to ground, it will notch the frequency it's tuned to ...
kinda handy if you've got a local pest that splatters across the bands.

Now that seemed to be a sweet catch, especially on that piece. Did you qsl by
chance?
