If AM reception is also important to you, check out eBay auction

that just ended.

This AM antenna is the best one ever manufactured and several come up on
eBay every year. And this is about what they sell for - They were $300
new, and worth every penny if AM signal reception is important to you.

Now, if you want to get good quality AM reception for a whole lot less
money, buy a GE SuperRadio III for about $65. It has the best AM tuner
of anything short of a shortwave receiver.

Many people think the GE SuperRadio II was better and they sometimes pop
up on eBay or in pawn shops.

Good luck

I currently have a Terk amplified antenna for both AM and FM reception.
The improvement is good but not dramatic. I tried another model with
similar results.

We will be building a new home soon. My inclination is to purchase an
aerial antenna and assemble it in the attic. This should provide more
dramatic results on the FM band (or so I have read). My question here is
"What should I do to provide an AM signal boost?" Can i lace a loop
style antenna in a wall prior to the drywall being hung? Do i need to
provide a loop antenna in the attic? Is it irrelevant since neither
would be on an exterior wall?

Your help is gratefully appreciated.
