How about a decent AM antenna with an IC-706?

Reminds about the leg pull ...

No leg pull intended. My IC-706 and ClearSpeech speaker work
unbelievably well on AM talk radio which is what I listen to
on AM. My home town has extremely noisy power lines. The
ClearSpeech speaker takes that all out.

I like the MW on the 706mk2g. Has good audio, and is just the right
width for "general use". It's fairly wide stock, which is good for MW.
Sounds a lot better than the ham rig with only tight 4.8kc AM
filtering,
using the stock SSB filter. Using the 44 inch per side loop I have in
here, it works great. But it also works good on MW mobile just using my

ham antenna tuned to a lower band...Doesn't have to really be tuned to
resonance..Plenty of signal with the antenna set for 80m. But my trucks
also have radios...The ac-delco I have in one truck is real good, but
I've never really tested the other "whatever brand" with the tape deck,

etc. Actually, offhand, I don't think it's that good, but it might be
the antenna , or the trimmer in the radio being off. If I listen to MW
in the house, it's almost always on the 706 these days. MK
