This guy has got my KIWA BCB loop borrowed out...Maybe I oughta get it back from him, & hook it up to the little Arvins...Mbwahahahahaha...I took the KIWA over to a bud's house one time, Sunday afternoon in the winter, we hooked it up to his-I think it was a Philco late '30s cathdral-that he'd had trouble picking up ANYTHING on, & Voila' ! the radio came alive...We were picking up AM daytimers outta KY & Virginia, local service stations that whose coverage usually petered out by their county lines...Plus, he lives in a bowl/box shaped valley, closed in on 3 sides by mountains,& on the 4th side by one a field's length away. The nite Mr. 2-Tuber almost picked up WLAC, I had it hooked up to a reasonable antenna I have strung around the ceiling in my "Ship's Radio Room". I had Terry re-cap him not long ago, he may do better now. Not too shabby for a el-cheapo 72 yr old set...
