Not an answer to your question, but a comment that may save someone's life! As a former boater, a common trick that I used to use was to turn on an AM radio when the skies started darkening up, indicating potential thunderstorm activity. AM radio (tuned to a station or not) will indicate electrical activity, via audible static bursts, even before lightening is visible, or thunder is audible. NOAA weather radio can give you a potential thunderstorm advisory, but by tuning on an AM radio, you can monitor electrical activity in real time, giving you ample warning to get off of the water, beach, golf course, or hiking trail, allowing you to leave a particularly dangerous location well before a thunderstorm hits!
Believe it or not, an A.M. radio question
I am on the 33rd florr of a downtown office building and have a small Marantz office system with a built in AM/FM tuner. FM reception is fine even with the stock antenna. However, with the stock plastic loop for AM, I cannot pull in any stations. Have any of you in high rise buildings used any after market AM antennae that will pull in AM stations in this environment. I want to listen to some of the local talk shows.
I have no idea whether something like the Terk powered antennae will work on AM in this situation.
Thanks for your help.
