I bought this radio for my sons upcoming 4th birthday, I paid a total of $24.78 from Amazon. This will be his first radio. :) I bought the radio because of the retro look and feel. Also it seems to be rugged enough that my child can use daily. We shall soon find out lol. I'm also very surprised on the performance on FM and it is much better on AM reception. I also like the AUX input for external devices. The only issue I have with this radio is the station reception drift after a few minutes of listening a long distance AM station. Overall it is a good radio for the average radio listener.

First I wanted to explain briefly on how to build the AM indoor loop antenna. I got the idea and was inspired from Crooked Ninja video on using the top of a 5 gallon bucket for the loop design. I also used a food storage container to house the 360 pF variable tuning capacitor. I used 14 gauge speaker wire and wrapped it around the loop 11 times, of course I should of used thinner wire and wound up a few more times, maybe 22 turns around the loop to cover the whole AM band, this loop works well from 900 kHz to 1710 kHz. I will be making another AM loop antenna using thinner magnet wire hopefully soon. :)

The final design of the Hula Hoop Loop antenna, i went with 3 turns of wire to cover most of shortwave, mediumwave and the upper part of longwave, got rid of the balun and pick up loop, made it simple connected to the standoff. It works for me as a wideband receive loop antenna. Thank you Bryan for all the suggestions. :)
My current project is a Copper Active Loop Antenna. I recently bought a copper tubing and low noise amplifier. Hopefully after assembly and testing it may compete with my MFJ-1886 Receive Loop Antenna.
Also want to thank you all for reaching 1000 subscribers and supporting my channel for the past 18 months with your likes, comments and subscriptions, without you this channel would not be here. You guys are great. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. :)

I recently bought this cool looking Halloween vintage spooky radio prop from Party City on sale for $16.99
It has several old radio shows varying in time. It has a total of 4 hours of old horror radio shows. Of course this is not a real radio. I like it because I plan to have it playing on my fireplace for Halloween. Stay tombed for more videos. Happy Halloween! :)
