How can I improve my reception at home? |
|
Our General Manager, Bill Santiff, lives in northern Calvert County between Sunderland and Dunkirk. He put a $25 outdoor FM "Yagi" antenna on his roof, pointed at Prince Frederick, and ran TV coax cable to his stereo receiver. He adjusted the pointing of the antenna so that WMJS-LP was stronger than WRXL in Richmond and "captured" the FM receiver in his stereo. This works most of the time unless the weather inversions give the Richmond or Philly stations a really strong reflection into our area. The antenna came from the Prince Frederick Radio Shack (one of our underwriters). It's a model 15-2163 and costs $24.95. A small outdoor VHF TV antenna will work as well, as long as it is a "directional" type that can be pointed at the intersection of Routes 2-4 and 231. We have tried to interest Comcast in carrying our audio somewhere on the cable system with little success. You can help by telling the local Comcast office that you want them to carry 102.1 on their system as an audio channel every time you visit them. :-)
