why the heck is my reception going to hell AT NIGHT ??? have eton e1--
random wire antenna out the window, i hold bare copper end to center of
pal jack and switch on external antenna (i know i know-- better antenna
and proper connector are on the way).

BUT, I get decent reception in the late afternoon via this method.
HOWEVER, at night, this terrible BZZZZZZZZZHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMM buzz is
all over the damn dial. Omnipresent. Occasionally radio taiwan breaks
thru it on 5950, but generally this is all i hear.

what in tarnation am i doing wrong?

please help!

thanks.

Maybe, if the over-priced Eton E1 came with an internal ferrite-bar
antenna, you wouldn't be having these problems. BTW Bob, the Eton E5 is
way over-priced, too - you could have gotten two Degen 1103s (same
radio), for the price of one Eton E5.
