(Antenna and Ground Wire Not included)
A minimum of a
30-50ft long outdoor Antenna Wire is recommended.
The best configuration for a crystal radio antenna is to run the wire horizontally between two electrically insulated supports as high off the ground as you can get them
.
The reason you need a good length antenna is because the more antenna you have, the more power your set will receive, and the louder it will be.
If you live in a Fringe Location where AM Radio signals are poor or weak and you dont have room on your property for a 100 Foot long antenna, check out my eBay store for my
"
AM Medium Wave Crystal Radio Antenna RF Amplifier High Performance".
This amplifier Pulls in AM Radio signals like a Magnet.
