Am Antenna Help
I'm inside an office inside an old brick and steel factory and can get very
little AM reception, only a few of the stations located in the same city. I
ran RG6-U coax to the roof of the factory (appx.100ft) and considered buying
a loop antenna but at this groups suggestion connected the coax to a long
wire. The stations I'm interested in are Indianapolis 1070kc and Chicago
670kc & 1000kc. I installed 200ft of #12ga insulated wire that is orientated
in line with these 2 cities and 6' above the roof at the terminations and
3-4' in the center. I grounded the coax shield at the roof and in my office
and I'm using a GE Superadio III on batteries. I can get these stations fine
in the daytime with a reasonable amount of static but at night the static
increases severely. Is there anything else I can do to make this a better
antenna.
Thanks in Advance
Jeff
