Howdy, Mike.

Where are you located, when will you be listening
(night, day, morning, afternoon, etc.), and what would
you like to hear?

I'll do my best to give you a hand - as will others here,
I'm sure.

73,

Thanks for all the responses!!!!
I'm located near Chicago. I am intrested in music, world (local) news
in English and anything else that may be out there..as again, am a
complete newbie and don't really know what is available.

Mike:


Unless I'm mistaken, the Yacht Boy will have an external antenna
hookup facility. If nothing else, get about 40' of bell wire, hook it
up, and stretch it out as high as you can get it (even indoors). Then,
concentrate on the following frequencies/times of day:

4700 to 7400 kHz: Evening and nights.

9500 to 11900 kHz: Anytime

13000 to 18000kHz: Daytime.

Good luck - stay in touch.

Tony
