One update is that I tacked up a $4.99 (Radio Shack) dipole antenna to the
pole near my office. Making sure the non-tail portion of the wiring was
attached vertically to the pole. I then bought dual ended alligator clips
and clipped it to the antenna of my cheapo radio and the station came in! I
had to do a litte adjusting and there was some static but it made me think
that with a better radio I could get a much clearer signal. I ended up
ordering *the Kaito KA2100 from Amazon. It's a little pricy but I figured if
that didn't work nothing will. It also seems to get great AM reception so I
am hoping that will help if I want to tune in some of those stations as well
but I am not betting the farm those will come in.

BTW, all the suggestions I had from this thread were phenomenal! I
especially liked the Crane FM Re-Broadcaster but like the idea of having the
radio on my desk where I could control the settings.

enjoy listening to your radio ~ RHF

Wow, that's *a great option. I'll have to think about that one. I could
probably put it in office of someone that has a window no problem.

The Kaito 1103 has excellent FM and audio, and reputedly the 1101 and
1102 do, too. Your best solution, however, is probably recorded FM, as
another poster noted.

The recorded stuff is great but I have all the music I need. I have a
Napster subscription and can download stuff at home and play it offline.
One of the morning stations I listen talks about current events and gives
me a couple of laughs in the morning. Then in the afternoon I like to
switch on to the sports station. I guess I could listen to them a day
later worse case.... :-)

I did find some good instructions on constructing a dipole antenna which I
may try:

Peter,

TIP - The Window {Remote} Radio -also- Has . . . {You Got It ! }
a Remote Control (R/C) for the Radio's Station Pre-Sets etc.
* On / Off
* Audio Volume
* AM / FM Band
* Radio Station Presets

Your Desk-Top Radio stays on the Fixed Re-Broadcast Frequency
and you use the Remote Control to 'control' the Window Radio.

yes - it is that simple ~ RHF
