I'm trying to get 1110 AM in Manhattan, and have terrible reception due to all
the surrounding concrete. I've just ordered the Super Radio by GE, and would
like to know if the Terk ADVANTAGE AM Advantage Antenna would help. The radio
has 2 screws on the back for an antenna, but this one I think doesn't need to
be attached. I can get some channels with my regular radio by placing it near
the window. I would sure appreciate any help. Thanks much!

Try a long wire hung out the window. It'll probably buy you more than most
of the cheap active antennas. Unfortunately if your problems are interference
related, they'll be worse too. But a quarter's worth of magnet wire and you
can find out without spending a lot of cash.
