Philco 620 Antenna
#3

If you are looking for the Philco antennas they pop up on ebay from time to time or you can go with a long wire as Ron mentions. If you can and can run a lead to your ground stake outside your house (most have one) or you can drive one in an area of your yard next to your house and there is a lot of info out there on how to make one. Make sure you use some type of lightning arrestor if you go with an outside antenna to protect your radio and your home.

Here is a common design that should work if you can't find a Philco antenna on ebay! http://members.aol.com/djadamson7/articl...enna1.html

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
