Can anyone recommend an inexpensive home stereo am/fm antenna? I'm
primarily interested in receiving am signals. Thanks!

Most of those AM/FM stereo radios aren't worth a hoot for picking up
long distance radio stations.Depending on what kind of territory (hills
or mountains) you probally would need a good external antenna.Yesterday
at the Goodwill thrift store I bought a nice Pioneer model SX-3400 AM/FM
stereo radio for $4.00 and two nice RCA speakers for $2.00 each.

Good info on this site, near the bottom half of the page, regarding
reduction of radio noise.

I took about 7 feet of used coax, stripped about 6 feet down to the
wire and made it into a loop, twisting the end back onto itself. Works
admirably for free - I think I might make my next one bigger.

Not too shabby if you are like me and have way more coax around than
you can use.

For AM take a look at the Crane (Justice) Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna
that is very good for pulling in AM / MW / BCB Radio Signals.
