Hi folks, Does anyone know of a good AM
antenna amplifier? I listen to a lot of AM radio
and the reception where I live is very bad. It is
not due to noise in the channel, it's just a weak
signal. I don't really want to mount a big outdoor
antenna. Something local inside would be great.
Thanks guys.

are to die for.

Oh no. OMG, I have become a leaky seive. That will
do my defense credntials no good at all. Or am I
suffering wave-particle duality as I encounter a
doorway? Help. Will no-one save this son of the
widow?

Fear not - Webmaster Man to the rescue
To answer Cube Slave's question about the
Wright Borthers, I kind of randomly assigned some
the newly posted avatars to users. You can change
it by clicking on the Profile button at the top,
once you have logged in. Mr. Nubbage got a cool
one for all his hard work... not that you are not
cool, too. Hmmm. might have stepped in it here.
And, for the original question, I have an
answer. My own home is located a fair distance from
the AM radion station that I listen to, so I did
some research into signal strengthening products
that really work. The one I found,
and now use,
is a passive, tunable loop that sits near the AM
radio. You fiddle with the tuning dial and the location/angle
of the loop until you achieve the best signal. There
are no batteries, power supplies, or wires to connect.
Mine was bought through Amazon. Here is
