I remember a long time ago in the mid-seventies; My uncle took an 
antenna part that had blown off of a radio tower that was nearby. The 
radio antenna was almost the size of a TV antenna that one would put on 
the roof of thier home. He attached it to a pocket AM radio, if anyone 
remembers the little dinky things with the wrist strap atttached, He 
lives in Hibbing, MN and was picking up stations all over Canada! I 
don't know what part of Canada but they were being brodcast in French.
He was running the whole thing off a 9 volt battery too.
Talk about your cheapie receiver!!
