Default why does my reception go to hell AT NIGHT ???

Go to a park away from all the "noise". Dimmers, fluorescent lights,
AC lines. and so many things we don't know could affect
reception.........Good Luck........Dave, again-----------PS. be
thankful your in LA it's snow here in St. Louis.

i went out to the edge of our yard and reception was fine-- the
bzzzzzzhmmmmmmmmm decreased as distance from the house increased.

can this be fixed with an external antenna mounted sufficiently away
from the house, but with an ultra-shielded lead-in cable to the house?

Yes . . .

take your radio outside, truck it around in the yard, find the best
reception area,

put up an antenna there.

then put in a nice shielded co-ax into your house, shielding the whole
thing.

Duct tape is actually a fairly good shield, BTW . ..
