[JR>] what I did back in the '60's was use a ground rod along with a wire nailed up to the side of the house (and a right long one at that) that was perpendicular to the radio station antenna. You can trim the length to a multiple of the wavelength = 1/frequency. I could hear fine through an earphone with no amplification, batteries or power supply. A little diode does it :-)
Or, you could just listen to a station on the Internet... -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
