Antenna Question
 

Hello,

I apologize if this is a question has been asked a million times - but
a google search has beeen overwhelming.

I bought a Teac SL-D88 radio for our kitchen, but the FM reception is
terrible. We live in a stone house (18 inch thick stone walls).

We have an old (currently unused) TV antenna on our roof that has a
coaxial cable running into our basement. The kitchen radio has an
external antenna that consists of a single wire (no dipole or coaxial
hook-up).

Can I connect the radio to the antenna, and how would I do that?
Thanks in advance.

Michael

Michael,
The TV antenna will probably help your reception. Try
the center conductor on the radio's terminal, or short
both inner/outer conductors and try that. Use whichever
works best. Inside/outside the house won't make as much
difference in what you hear as how high the antenna is.

PS - Alternate method. Tie rock on end of a long piece of
wire. Throw rock over roof. Watch out for windows.

thank you very much. i think it'll work - we live on top of a hill.
