<VV> radio reception

[Harry Smith]

I believe the antenna is grounded where it mounts on the body. Check for rust in that area.

> here is a recent phenomenon. my stock am radio with exact repro antenna had been playing loud and clear. until today. the volume was poor, and i notice that if i hold the antenna while standing on the ground, i get full volume. when i let go of the antenna, poor volume. this is the mast of the antenna, not the base. this does not occur if i am sitting in the passenger seat holding the mast. i know something is grounding, but i took everything apart and even tried other antenna cable that i had on hand to no avail. i would be interested to hear of solutions, is there some sort of extra ground wire i can run? also, has anyone used one of those hidden antenna that i see offered on ebay? thanks, jim
