LOL, not sure it even needs to be tuned Good thing I like the radio
station - I get it on my phone... my stereo...

It did take a bit to get the interference cleaned up when I first moved
here. But that was 18 years ago, and I haven't had any problems since.


5KW 50 yards away?
You could pick that up on your bath taps!

My biggest bugbear used to be Radio Moscow bleeding all over the MW AM
bands in the 70s on my home made junk pile of a radio. Thankfully those
days are past. Nice to see that My junk pile of a radio -components
connected by drawing pins (thumb tacks) on a wooden board which may
explain the breakthrough - has outlasted Radio Moscow.
I still have the radio and it still works.

Yep. And it can be a bit of a hassle on the lower HF bands, but good
grounding takes care of most of it.

But my dream is to get a few nighttime hours and load the towers on 160.
It's on 630Khz, so the antenna farm should load nicely on 1890Khz
And since it has a directional signal, I should be able to change the
phasing to point it almost anywhere I want
