Finding alternative ways to listen, such as over the internet, is
usually a good idea, but if the content you want to hear is only
available over AM, I'd suggest a good loop antenna such as the Terk AM
Advantage. The Q or Pi models also work quite well and include FM
capabilities. I use an old Pi, but the Advantage or Q should get even
better results. Of course an external AM antenna would be best, and be
resistant to interference from inside the house, but how much are you
willing to do to get "good" AM?
Once you have a good antenna, if there's interference, move it around to
see if you can get rid of the interference. If not, or if it's
difficult to clear it up, you should find the source. It will usually
be nearby. I can't listen to AM well at all if the TV is on, but
fortunately I don't usually listen to AM and watch TV simultaneously.
Just turn off electronic devices one by one and see what's responsible.
Or better yet, turn them all off so you see how good it can be, and
turn them on to see how each device affects it.
Good luck,
Joel
radio geeks!.... is Stereo AM broadcasts still around?
