Hello all,


There is a particular station in my area, 105.1, that I really like.
Unfortunately, it barely comes in, and sometimes doesn't at all. I
would like to build an antenna which is designed specifically for this
station and which can somehow plug into my normal radio. I know
nothing about this subject. Could someone please point me in the right
direction?

What do you have for an antenna now and what is your "normal radio".

A piece of junk boombox. Emerson Model PD6607. The antenna is the
antenna sticking out the top of it.


Just about any antenna will be better than that if you mount up in the
air.

The trick will be connecting it to the radio if there isn't an existing
connector for an external antenna.

How can you connect a better antenna to a radio like this? I don't
mind taking it apart a bit.


Likely the simplest thing to do is open it up and find the connection
to the existing antenna, then add a connector wired to the same place.
