It sounds to me as if you are desperate for something to listen to, and your equipment is sub standard - so broadcast radio seems to be the only thing it picks up...

Interesting thought but not totally accurate. Have a great deal of interest in NY sports, grew up there. Curious to see where I can pick it up in on my various travels over the years. Brought the only radio I own which didn't have a Lithium Ion battery per regulations with the airline I flew. I have had success with some pirates/shortwave reception. Thanks for your interest though.

What are you using for an antenna on your PL-600?

Sony AN-61 reel wire

Hmmm, AFAIK, the ferrite bar acts as the antenna for AM on the PL-600.
Do you find that the wire antenna enhances reception on the AM band?
-
Did not know you were referring to AM only. Wire is for shortwave use, yes ferrite bar for AM.

What a rude comment.
I find MW DXing interesting at night and early morning hours. New York to Florida on MW is a nice catch CT Yankee especially on a portable. :)
