Re: [IRCA] I love my Eton E1 but..............

[longwave@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Have you used the adapter that Universal and others sell for the
antenna?  I use one with mine and I have no connection problems.

Part of my overload problem is my proximity to WBZ's  50kw signal  (6 or
7 miles) and a few other 5kw stations that are within 10 miles or so and
many other big signals within 25 miles.
