Decided to do some armchair copy with RRI this evening .  Using a Grundig 960 in the living room.  Antenna is a 5 foot piece of wire.  Signal is ok; qrm from household electronics is the limiting factor for a clean signal.

Have been hearing KFAB in the mornings on 1110.  I believe their pattern west/northwest, so nice to hear it out this direction.
