Why not build a simple outside AM/MW Loop Antenna that is pointed in the direction of WWL and tuned for WWL in New Orleans at 870 kHz ? * Eight Foot Tri-Angle = Three Sided Loop with a Flat Bottom and two Sloping Sides to the Peak. * Rig the Top [Peak] from a tree limb or the eaves of the house and use two stakes in the ground to hold the Corners in place using Nylon/Poly Rope. The Bottom can be 2-4 feetabove ground level. * Feed the Loop from the Corner that is away from the 'target' Radio Station. * Nine (9) Turns = 216 Feet of Wire * One Inch Turn Spacing = 8 Inches Wide * Use a Variable Tunning Capacitor or a Fixed Capacitor of about 100pF * Use Twin Lead or Coax Cable Feed-in-Line to the Radio. . AM/MW Ferrite Rod Antenna Coupler : If your Radio does not have External AM/MW Antenna Terminals then build a simple Ferrite Rod Antenna Coupler using a Cardboard Tube from a Roll of Paper Towels. * Wind about 35-50 Turns of Wire with about a 1/4" Spacing between the Turns. * Place it next to the Radio's built-in Ferrite Rod Antenna. . I built one up in Twain Harte,Ca so I could listen to KGO in the SF Bay Area at 810 kHz all day long and it works very well to make KGO an easy listening Radio Station. .

I subscribe to DirecTV and I get about 160 channels. (or more,I never
counted them before,only a hand full of them are worth watching in my opinion.I like the Easy Listening music channel) Changing Rooms,Ireland is on BBC America right now.I wonder if I can get RTE on DirecTV? cuhulin |
