Ok guys and Gals, here is one for the more technically minded of you )

I'm going to cross-post this to RRS, as the real radio technos
live over there...

If I want to try and improve the reception on my car radio or home based SW
radio (to for example pick up weather broadcasts or news broadcasts in a
remote location), the normal route is to extend the length of the ariel
????
How ever when I have tried this with my Roberts 886 world band all I get is
more very loud interference.

So how do I extend the length of an ariel using a wire to improve
reception
without picking up more interference?

The secret word where antennas are concerned is...

Slinky.

I don't know why they work, but they do.

They work because they are made of metal. :-)
