A Select A Tenna on a lazy susan with the radio.

Yep. That is the ultimate setup, can't beat it. I
don't have that particular antenna, don't need it
but any loop with a turntable is where it's at.


I use my GE SR II on a turntable.

I'm not all that much of a MW'er, but it does come in handy.

I received WLS at 4 PM one winter afternoon in Bryan Texas. I used an
original Select A Tenna and a Magnavox (Philips) AE3805 $50 radio.

Not everyone agrees, but I like the sound it has. It has an old tube
radio sound.

Yes, its just a radio..but in this case looks did matter and it
