Zenith H511Y reception problems

[Reece]

The noise problem in the building is one thing, but an AA5 can often do amazingly for DX at night if it's tuned up right. If you recap that little Zenith and max tweak the IF's, it should be easily able to pick up WWL New Orleans 870 Kc at night, and WSB Atlanta 750 Kc. Try it near a window and turn it about to aim the loop antenna. If it doesn't have an X type safety cap install one going from the cold side of the power switch to the other side of the line. That will often cut a lot of the noise carried by the power line.
