Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

RE: Long Wire Antenna

"I can't vouch for its performance or, more importantly, its safety.'

Unfortunately, as shown, it is UNSAFE! Atmospheric electrical activity can destroy the equipment and/or the residence. :>((

A lightning arrestor needs to be added near the building entrance point. A satisfactory lightning arrestor can be made from a non-resistive spark plug.

Install a knife switch in the lead in line, just after the line enters the building. The switch should be open when the radio is not in use and the radio should not be used during an electrical storm.
