[NJARC] Accidental DX'ing in a Hyundai

[Islandradiosvc at aol.com]

The newer factory car radios have amazingly sensitive AM .. Also, the  
factory antennae and radios, are properly tuned to each other. Now.. if you get  
rid of the spark plugs, and ignition, (albiet the new ones are very well  
shielded) the results will amaze you. I have found improved AM DX, a fringe  
benefit to a diesel engine!

Just  this evening I drove from New Jersey to Centreville, Virginia to
stay with  my aunt while she recovers from a broken wrist. On the ride
down, I was  scanning the AM band when I found a loud and clear station
on 780 kHz. I  quickly realized that I was picking up CBS Chicago
perfectly from nearly  six hundred miles away! This, by the way, is on
the radio that came from  the factory with my base model Santa Fe. It
has an RF amplifier in there  somewhere and I did upgrade the antenna
whip from the stubby 6 inch to a  whopping 30 inch mast. There is
another antenna built into the  windshield.

I know this is probably old hat to most of you, but I was  thoroughly 
impressed!

Regards,
Joe  Giliberti
