Is your 60 foot wire antenna inside or out ? (gotta be outside) . Any way to get it up into the 200 or so foot range ? With not much amplification (due to only one tube) a long antenna is your friend , the longer the better . How's your ground ? Connected to a copper pipe driven a good 6 or 7 feet into somewhat moist soil , or are we connected to the wall outlet's ground (the worst ground connection one can possibly have) ? Things like that become extremely important when you don't have several tubes worth of amplification to mitigate the effects of a marginal antenna or ground .
