I have a CC Radio Plus (Sangean) AM/FM/TV/WX radio (from C. Crane Co.) I
enjoy broadcasr band DX'ing and this radion does a super job with just it's
built-in ferrite antenna. I have logged AM BC stations from practically
every state east of the Mississippi.

Best reception is, of course, at night. But.... for some reason WABC (New
York City) comes in poorly at night even though it's xmitter is only 80
miles away. The signal fades to next to nothing and then increases to very
loud but extremely distorted then will be loud and clear for a while.
(During the day this station's signal is fine.) On the same evening,
stations in Georgia (WSB, Atlanta), Illonois (WGN, Chicago), Michigan (WJR,
Detroit), etc., etc. come in fine 90% of the time.

Do I need an external antenna for the closer WABC?????
