I used to get WWVA 1170 up in Boston, I liked the overnite Trucker show. As the guys have said perhaps you can have some one check under the chassis and see if the set has had capacitors updated and wiring checked. Get some body who knows radio or electronic work to do it if you are not completely comfortable.

Regards,

Paul
