Can anyone recommend an inexpensive home stereo am/fm antenna? I'm
primarily interested in receiving am signals. Thanks!

Most of those AM/FM stereo radios aren't worth a hoot for picking up
long distance radio stations.Depending on what kind of territory (hills
or mountains) you probally would need a good external antenna.Yesterday
at the Goodwill thrift store I bought a nice Pioneer model SX-3400 AM/FM
stereo radio for $4.00 and two nice RCA speakers for $2.00 each.

Good info on this site, near the bottom half of the page, regarding
reduction of radio noise.

I took about 7 feet of used coax, stripped about 6 feet down to the
wire and made it into a loop, twisting the end back onto itself. Works
admirably for free - I think I might make my next one bigger.

Not too shabby if you are like me and have way more coax around than
you can use.

Hey! Great idea. Think I'll try that. Thanks!
