Hi, I,m new to this forum, I just purchased this restored 16B because I had heard about the great performance. This radio seems to work great on shortwave but will barely pick up a local 5000 watt standard broadcast station about 2 miles away. I'm using about a 15 foot wire for antenna and no ground. Also the chassis bolts are wrong what size should these bolts be. I don;t have much experience with with these radios so are there any things to look for to improve performance. Looking under the chassis it does seem to have most of the caps replaced. Thanks, Archie
