An antenna out the window will do wonders. With a Radio Shack DX 398 and its
rollup antenna I am able to pick up many major SW stations.

The rollup extends to 23 feet to the nearest support -- in my case a palm
tree.

A wire would do just as well.

All right. I get the idea. Thanks. My radio is up at my house in
the Pocono Mountains, PA, not where I live here in NYC, so I suppose
I'll buy an antenna (good grief, not I've got to figure *that* out!)
and see if I can hear anyone talking. If I get reception I'll put in
the time and effort to understand what I'm doing. Thanks again. I'll
let you know if I succeed.

I never even considered leaving the radio here in my apartment. You
can't just stick the antenna out an open window and expect to get
results, right, or can you . . ?
