The  other things I've done in the past year is improved both antenna  and
ground, per several other loggings here lately.  It has made a  tremendous
difference.  I second everything said about  that.



Mark,
 
I agree, a good ground makes all the difference in the world. When we lived  
in West Virginia a few years ago, we lived in a mobile home. I had a Slinky  
Homebrewed Antenna, and my ground was 18 ga. going to the copper feeder pipe  
from the water main, which ran all the way to the street. Some 150 feet. And 
you  have to add all the meters and the pipe that were connect to mine. Great  
reception.
 
Now, however, we live in a 2d floor apartment. Tell me how I can improve my  
ground here. And I have not really got conductive material in the plumbing 
that  is preexisting. 
 
I really would love to be able to improve my ground. Any help is  appreciated.
 
John
