RE: [DMCForum] Terrible AM reception...

["Videobob Moseley" <videobob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If your having trouble tuning in your AM radio you could just kill some time 
and listen to one of your 8-Tracks, or head home and wind up the Victrolla 
for some hap hap happy music.
Or heck, whip out one of your old Edison cylinder records for some two 
tapping music.
While your at it, play along on the JUG and WASHBOARD!!!!
(Just call us at BR549 for a good deal) HEE HAW!

Amplitude Modulation?
C'mon bro, I'll hook you up with a good deal on a Sirius if you need one 
then you can
listen to politcal talk in crystal clear stereo from outer space.

IN all seriousnous (if thats a word) you need a ground loop isolator.
Go to any audio shop and they will get you what you need.
