I find it interesting that the 2 bands that I usually pick up the best
are the 41 & 49 meters.

Most other bands don't come in too well. (Depending on the weather.)

And I never get anything on the 120 meter.

I use my radios telescopic antenna.

You will probably find things will improve significantly if you are able to
put up an outside antenna!

Using the telescoping antenna is the major problem with your reception
on 120m.

Kinda like the revelation you're voting for Bush. Hello?

LMAO at the unemployed fat one that owes his current well being to
trial lawyers. And, a guy that claims he's some kind of great
American but doesn't believe in freedom of the press.

Born to be trolled. Muhahhahhahhahha

Fat? Trial lawyers? Freedom of the press? Unemployed?

Damn, you are certainly confused today, Billy.

Get back to me when those meds kick in.

No disputatious diatribe, innate? Yer slippin' as bad as Shrub. Ya coulda at
least elucidated that most shortwave portables have medium wave attenuators
whose effects usually extend into 120 metre band reception. Even with an
outside antenna, Sony's 2010 has a hard time copying west coast a.m.ers on
1.925 mhz during their evening sessions. Barring mods to remove said
attenuators, porta-top & tabletop receivers are better suited for 120 metre
reception, propogation permitting.

This is because I live in an apartment building.

My last home was an apartment. I ran a wire out one bedroom window,
around the building and into the other bedroom's window. Picked up a
little electrical noise, but it was worlds better than the whip antenna.
No one ever noticed the wire, three feet above their heads but against
the building.
