What make/model radio are you using?

If you have an option to tune in broadcast band AM stations using SSB
(sideband)
you may improve reception at the cost of limiting audio quality.

Got it on the loop antenna thanks Roy Lewallen, W7EL, sounds like that's
what I need to start researching. My radio is just an older RCA 5.1
surround sound, I've got a ton of music vinyl and digital and use it
mainly for that, but it's in my shop where I'm the boss and can smoke
cigars if I want and where I listen to most of the baseball. I don't
really care much for the RCA radio because I don't like the digital
tuning, if I wanted to get a descent radio for am reception what's a good
choice? I've got a couple older portables a GE Super Radio and a Midland
8-band, but I'd like a table model so I can take advantage of the surround
sound and speakers I've got throughout my shop.

Setup that GE Super Radio, orient it properly and see how it compares to
your RCA 5.1. Let us know.
