Default Ten-Tec 1054 Shortwave Kit

wrote in message
ups.com...
Hi,

I built a Ten-Tec 1054 kit and I don't seem to be able to pick up any
stations. I've rechecked all the parts and they are all in the right
place and oriented correctly. I get a lot of static, but nothing that
even sounds like a signal. I live in Chicago. Are there a lot of
stations that can be picked up from here? I'm using a 6 foot antenna.
Any suggestions?


A simple sanity check is to check the AM band.
