- then tape / glue / fasten some wire to the outside of the building.. so no
one can see it..

- Can you get an antenna Outside onto the ground ?? then try to build a Snake
antenna





Hi all. As I've posted previously, I live in a large dorm/apartment
building. I'm stuck here with my wife for the next three years or so.
Anyway, I have a Grundig YB-400PE. Recently I got the Sony AN-LP1 active
antenna, which has seemed to help a bit, but often times stations are still
unlistenable because of the large amount of RF noise in the building. If I
take the Grundig outside more than about 3 yards from the building, I get
crystal clear reception and stations from all over the place.

With winter coming, going outside isn't a great option. (I'm in
Wisconsin...brrrr...). Any suggestions on how I can reduce the effects of RF
noise? I have the radio and antenna in a window, and it is still very
noise-laden, especially on SW. AM is a little better, but not much. FM seems
ok...but I don't listen to much FM on this radio anyway.

Thanks in advance.
