Hi Thomas<\/p>\n

I see that Anon-co have the Tecsun PL-990 Ferrite rod aerial for sale<\/a>. It even says in the product description “You can use it for your DIY projects.” I thought it might be of interest to your MW\/AM radio constructors, especially if they can build a radio that receives more stations than the Tecsun using the same part!<\/p>\n

Click here for the product page at Anon-Co.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cheers

Thanks for the tip, Gareth. This would indeed make it easy to construct an external MW antenna. Thank you for the tip!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
