Hi,

I have a Tecsun PL880 that I cannot get good reception on for AM stations.

I know absolutely nothing about the radio and I only purchased the radio due to good reviews about SW and AM reception.

I live in a small house but in my backyard about 100 feet away is a one of those 75 feet tall Power Transmission lines. I don't know if the power line is causing reception problems.

I can only get one AM station even though there are numerous stations in the area that I can get on my Sony radio. One day I would like to use the SW but I have not at this time.

Any suggestions/recommendations about the poor reception and what I can do to make this better?

Thank you very much,

Mary
