Shortwave Broadcast / need help bringing in SW stations
« on: October 01, 2022, 1529 UTC »
I have been unable to get anything except static on my SW radio (even using an external loop antenna and keeping the A/C adapter plugged in) since I got the thing nearly two years ago. And I only even try listening at night, of course. (I’m often up all night and I wish I could get some reception with interesting programs that provide an entire night’s listening each night).
It’s an ETON Elite Executive (brand new). I thought it might be interference with my computer/phone/external HDDs or the a/c’s that have been in the windows all summer. But I really don’t think it’s any of those things. There’s probably something on the radio itself that I have set incorrectly—though I’ve combed the manual many times. I can’t even get the time signal from WWV (which I had a hard time receiving even when I lived in AZ—and had a different, but very similar ETON model SW radio).
Have you any ideas as to why I can’t get any reception?
By the way, I’m using it inside my top-floor apartment in a small city in New England.
