[Hallicrafters] Re: BC-Band AM Antenna

[doc]

OK, so there is little hope of the BC-AM receiver functioning
as well as past designs, what are the creative alternatives
to make the best of it?

1.  Add a pre-amp with a switch?  (Might this also add to
the already loud engine QRM & QRN?)

2.  Lengthen the antenna with a longer whip?

3.  Add a coil at the base to electrically lengthen the
whip without adding excessive height?

4.  Forget the BC-AM receiver and install a shortwave
receiver or Ham rig with BC-AM coverage?

Thanks!  doc
