I am living in a seniors only apartment complex with computer operated doors and flourescent lights on 24/7 surrounded by several cell towers S. I can empathise. My sugggestion would be to get some wire (multistrand insulated 50') and hnag it out the window, or if there is a tree nearby, tie something hefty on one end and chuck it up into the tree so it winds itself around a limb and connect it to your receiver and run a ground to a metal cold water pipe. That will catch some signals. For the rest, you will either have to live with it, or find some place away from the computers and stuff to sit and enjoy your radio. Of course, if you can get listen while everyone else is asleep, that might work too . Just don't forget to study too s. V

All life all holiness come from you O Lord

Hi,

I'm living in a fairly large college dorm and I feel as though, as a
consequence, my Grundig FR-200 is not able to pick up what it otherwise
might. Considering that around 400-500 college students live here and
remembering that college student = laptop / desktop + television +
stereos + who knows what else. . . Do you think this would make a
significant difference? Am I living in shortwave hell?

Thanks in advance for your ideas!
