Whip antenna

A whip antenna can work well, and is not directional.

Three element antenna

For best reception use a three-element antenna. This can add up to

10dBµV to the received signal strength, and mounting the antenna

higher, such as in a loft, can add a further 10dBµV. A three-element

antenna is highly directional and so should be oriented for best

results.

AM reception

For best results use a large loop of wire, six feet across or more.

This will pick up strong signals with a minimum of interference. The

loop antenna is directional and it should be mounted vertically,

facing the stations you want to receive. Keep it away from

computers, televisions, and mains wiring to minimise interference.
