(I could
sure use a longwire connection to it, too.. AM reception inside our building
runs from terrible to hideous to non-existant..)

Out of curiousity Brenda Ann, what radio are you using for the BCB anf for SW?
My loop doesn't really do that good a job on that GE P-780, works well on all
the others, but not that one.

But (from experience) if you could hook you a longwire, you'd be pleased I'm
sure.
