Connecting A Better Antenna For The Insignia Portable

[Chuck]

I love a Science Project, assuming your time is worth nothing.  To be fair, when I was still in school (and beyond), I used to do stuff like this too.  I didn't have the money, but I did have the time. I also learned a lot from the experience.  Good luck on your adventure.

If I learn something, it's worth it.  (My time's worth rather a lot, except, generally, in the case of radio...I'm a sucker for radio...)

But why IBOC radio? there's so many more interesting radio modes out there. I have five radios next to me as I sit writing this including the computer. A Marantz receiver, a Hammarlund HQ-180, A Sony XDR-F1HD HD radio and a Meduci AMX-2000. Guess which one is used the least amount of time? Did you guess the Sony? Bingo! You win. I find none of the lure of radio in trying to receive 30 mile FM iBlock signals and even worse, 8 mile AM IBOC signals. I'll turn on the Hammarlund and listen to what's left of the WW broadcasters.
I'm also a sucker for radio, I own at least thirty old boatanchor communications receivers, and a few old transmitters, now those are interesting radios.

Okay, I get it - you don't like HD Radio.  Message received.

Now, instead of questioning why I bought it, would anyone like to offer antenna tips?
