Thanks for the helpful replies about the car radio that would only get
a couple AM stations. The guy ignored my advice about trimming the
antenna, and just bought another antenna, even though the one he had
had worked fine with the previous radio.

The new radio worked fine with the new antenna. Did he just get
lucky?

No. He ignored your idiotic advice and replaced a defective antenna.

Did you propose he trim and replace metal every time he changes channels?
