Hi
Can someone help me with a solution to my AM radio problem. I have just
replaced a cheap clock radio with an expensive and much better sounding one.
The aim was to improve sound quality ( which it has done) and reduce the
interference from ADSL modem ( which it hasn't). This is a reasonably
expensive clock radio, with no external AM aerial connection. Being used
bedside, it needs to be oriented so that you can see the clock face. Of
course Murphy's law prevails, and the ideal orientation for seeing the
clock, dial etc is at almost exactly 90 degrees to the ideal orientation for
best reception. In the "best reception" orientation the ADSL interference
is minimal, and quite acceptable to the radio's owner.

Re-arranging the bedroom layout to suit the radio isn't an option, and the
radio's owner really likes the AM programming. So I'm looking for another
solution.

Is it possible to have some sort of external aerial ( I'll avoid even trying
to spell the ant..... word correctly ), feeding via co-ax to a coil or
perhaps ferrite rod, close to the clock radio? We are about 30 km from the
main transmitter of interest, ( 774 Melbourne 50kW ) so signal strength
outside house should not be a problem.

Suggestions welcome.

David
