Got one of those bedside clock radios[Roberts] still under guarantee
so I won't open it but,living on the fringes of the Border I can only
receive one radio programme clearly with the ribbon ariel it has.
I don't want to mess about inside with it but can I put a telescopic
ariel in place of the ribbon ariel?
I really know nothing about reception problems.Thanks

in "fringe" locations outside antennas are generally needed.

if you need better AM reception the select-a-tenna is easy and effective
