Adjust the aerial direction for the best reception.
The AM loop aerial has a directivity which detects
the signal from some angles more strongly than
others. Set the aerial to the orientation which
provides the best receiving condition.
If a high pitched noise (beat noise) occurs when
recording AM broadcasts, adjust the position of
the AM loop aerial so that the noise disappears.
If you live in a building constructed of reinforced
concrete, or with a steel frame, you may not be
able to achieve good reception since the radio
waves become weaker indoors.
