Seems to me you have hung too much wire on the radio and blown the front end
= hence the weak performance.
The 7600D is a good performance portable, but a tabletop will always
outperform a portable

Dear friends,
I have a sony icf 7600D for about 15 years. I started to upgrade it
now because it is not successful in catching weak signals. I live in
Istanbul,Turkey and I am especially interested in catching weak local
stations of central asian states and Siberia. I use a long random wire
antenna. My ICF7600D is good at strong signals of BBC, VOR etc. but,
so far not good enough for weak ones i am interested in. Do you advice
a table top for this purpose? If yes, what would you advice?
Thanks, oan
