Default AM Antenna in Eton E1

Great pix, thanks Weatherall.
Does the Ferrite Rod only aid in AM broadcast reception, or does it also aid
SW reception?

OK, I'll admit it.
I don't know what people are talking about when they say the E1 doesn't
have
an AM antenna.
Doesn't it have a whip antenna.
What more could you want?
What the heck is a "ferrite rod antenna" anyway?


Hi Lenny:
Here are pictures of the insides of a Tecsun PL-200 radio. It's hosted
on radiointel.com, a fun & useful site. In some of the pictures you
will see tightly coiled copper wire around a bar (that's the ferrite).
It's at the top of the radio, and would be on the left side if you're
looking at the front.
