How does your car radio pull in stations compared to the indoor radio?
Any car stereo gets better reception than the best home radio I have found.
I set a car antenna up as high as I can get it with a line of sight towards the intended station (not blocked by the house), car stereo, 12 VDC ~7 amp power supply (available at Radio Shack)and some speakers.
I ran that setup for some years in my shop. It has been upgraded to include Sangean wifi radio, ~1000 watt amp, ~100 watt power supply, and big speakers.
I can be a some distance out in the field working, crank the watts and understand the person talking.
I don’t have a lot of neighbors...
Only downside is the shop walls buzz at certain pitches even at low volumes.
“1000 watt amplifier.... I don’t have a lot of neighbors...”
Hm... Will have to try that. Did they complain at first, or just move away without a lot of guff?
