Hello all,

There is a particular station in my area, 105.1, that I really like.
Unfortunately, it barely comes in, and sometimes doesn't at all. I
would like to build an antenna which is designed specifically for
this
station and which can somehow plug into my normal radio. I know
nothing about this subject. Could someone please point me in the
right
direction?

Greg

What do you have for an antenna now and what is your "normal radio".

A piece of junk boombox. Emerson Model PD6607. The antenna is the
antenna sticking out the top of it.

Just about any antenna will be better than that if you mount up in the
air.

The trick will be connecting it to the radio if there isn't an existing
connector for an external antenna.

How can you connect a better antenna to a radio like this? I don't
mind taking it apart a bit.

Hi Greg

If you are willing to construct the Yagii, it would be possible you can
couple it to your BoomBox by looping the "twisted pair" from the yagii
around the case of the radio. Maybe you could experiment with twisting the
twisted pair around the antenna you now pull out for the VHF range. It is
possible that you will see some improvement by making a circular loop with
the wires in the twisted pair and position the loop near the present (pull
out) antenna.
