Hmm, I had not though about the noise vs signal, and as Doc points, out my
better half would want to know how it was I had nothing better to do w/ my
time. Thanks.

For receiving only, I doubt a longer whip would help with AM. If you're
already getting a signal above the noise level, making the antenna
longer would only make both the signal and noise louder, and that in
itself may cause overload problems.

If you can tune in between stations and hear fairly loud atmospheric
static, stop there. More is not better.
