I bought one of these to try to listen to AM 1000 out of Chicago. I
live in Fort Wayne, IN about 160 miles east. I'm willing to do just
about anything including a roof top antenna. Any suggestions?
thanks!

can provide you with antennas and info. His web
site is http://www.torustuner.com/
http://www.torustuner.com.futuresite.register.com/ .

He makes very sensitive SW, MW, and LW antennas that are very easy to
operate. He shows the 909 with the loop on the web site. You can go to
Wal-Mart (? housewares dept) and check out their little lazy susan type
TV bases. I think they sell for under $5 and, as mentioned, are to be
able to rotate your tv. It will appear a bit stiff for the little 909
initially, but a spray or two of WD-40 will take care of that. You'll
be able to rotate the antenna and radio together.

This makes for a great little combination.

thanks to both of you! Does the antenna "input" on the 909 work with
both MW and SW?

What time of day are you trying to listen? I'm kinda thinking you might be
in an area where the skywave interferes with the groundwave.
