Lots of storm activity here, no decent reception, just static bursts. I do most of my good listening on my Philco 39-116, or believe it or not, the Onkyo 4500. I've found the AM section in it is fantastic, especially if I hook up my ouside antenna. Mind you this antenna is nothing special, its about 40 feet of cheap 22 ga speaker wire run out the window and tied to the clothes line at the other end. The antenna I use on the Philco is about the same length hung on nails under the eave out front where my workshop is. The Philco has a ground, the Onk does not.
I'm also a regular 740 CHWO listener. I was listening to their big band program last night. It just feels right listening to 40s era big band on a 1939 radio.
