I have been trying to listen to broadcast stations on my Sony
ICF-7600GR radio. I want to hear radio habana cuba, but I swear, the
sound will go in an out, low to where you can't hear it, then
blasting, then low again, it will not ever stay stable to the point
where I can sit there and just listen to it. I don't have any external
antenna yet, I can't put on on the roof or in an attic since I don't
own this house nor have any attic or basement. Do I just need a better
antenna or do I just have to live with the fading or whatever this is
called?


You need a better antenna. A simple thing to do is clip on about 15 to
40 feet of wire to the whip.
