As some of you know I was actively looking to find a smaller antenna for Pheonix and eventually settled in for one. However, what I quickly discovered is that it effected the reception capabilities drastically. Namely, the weak but very audible signal of WREK out in the jungles of Cumming was quickly replaced with pure static.

For a while, I ignored this, since I really just wanted to have the small signal. I justified it by claiming that I don’t listen to the radio much anyway. Unfortunately, that isn’t true. When I’m done with my podcasts or a new album, I usually switch to the radio. Sometimes I just like listening to the classics on my way to work. Yet, I ignored the problem and let it be.

Then came summer. All of a sudden out of the blue all the radio signals seem to have been adversely effected. May be the summer storms turned most of the stations I listen to slightly away from my travel route. It’s crazy none the less. Today, I finally gave up. I want my radio. I’m taking it back.
