I meant to thank whoever recommended the Radio Shack Loop when it was on 
sale... my wife was complaining that she couldn't hear the National League 
playoffs (when the Braves were still in it) so I took her a Sony portable I 
have and thought I might take the loop. Low and behold, sitting on her 
bookshelf, the AM broadcast was not copyable inside like that. Then I 
literally just sat the loop beside the rcvr, tuned it (no, I don't mean: 
"turned"), and the game was perfect copy. Pretty good for $20-$30 (whatever 
it was at 1/2 price.) Too bad about the Braves... but at least she got to 
hear it.
