I have a table radio that's pretty much all noise, all the time on
MW, where I am. Ferrite rod antenna, and no real provision for ground.
I connected an earth ground to the sleeve nut on the headphone output
jack and that quieted things down dramatically.

Works on some of my other receivers as well.



Ever since I nearly killed myself with an S-38 back in 1965 I've been
afraid of ground.
