Why can I only receive AAR local radio in my car & not in the house?
I can get pretty good reception of AAR that is broadcast out of Atlanta when I'm in my car, but I can't get ANY reception on any radio in my house!

I admit, I don't have any super expensive radios, but what would I have to look for, if I were to buy a new one for in the house, so I can get AAR there too?

Now, I listen to it on the net, but every time my internet goes dow, I obviously loose that option! And yes, that happens far more often than it should!!!!

1. Does AAR come in on AM or FM for you?
I think it is harder to get AM in the house, because my stereo turner doesn't pick it up. Maybe you can buy an auxiliary antenna for your radio.

3. Maybe a portable radio meant for AM reception
with a telescoping antenna that you can adjust and aim.

4. Well, I also did some research on-line, and it seems
lots of good things are being said about a GE Super Radio III. It's taughted as being very good a pulling in AM stations.

I think I'm going to try it. I'll post the results here in case others might be having the same proble.

Thanks for the help.

7. Probably power lines
The electrical flux interferes with radio signals.
