My work shop build in progress

Since I don't listen to music of any kind the only radio I own is tuned to an AM station that has Rush or Hanity on most of the day, but the station is weak so they barely come in most of the time. I live far enough out that no other AM station will come in and very few of the FM stations which I wouldn't listen to anyway so no great loss. Most of the time I don't even bother to turn it on.

You need a tunable loop antenna to set near the radio.

This is the one I have:

It will increase the signal strength muchly and make the station listenable

Is muchly a word?

 

[dragoneggs]

Agreed.

I consider working by myself therapy. I have no problem being alone all day. I like me and enjoy many hours of fine conversation.

Me too, but I sometimes find myself debating so much that not much gets done in my shop by the end of the day! Then the next day I have to ask myself what I decided.

Wish I had said that....

Sounds like a win win situation.:thumbsup: Unless the guy you are debating doesn't show up for work the next day.

I know I am in a minority because I do not care to listen to music. Which is funny really since the late Great Earnest Tubb and my dad were close friends. Several times when I was younger, when he was not on tour or when playing a benefit near by, MR. Tubb visited our farm. He and my dad would really tie one on and assault everyone's ear drums with drunken off key sounds,and their guitar picken would get even worst as the night wore on. Years later while I was stationed in Germany he was doing a USO gig He saw me sitting near the front row and called me to come up on stage with him then we did his and my Dad's version of Waltz across Texas only it was called walk across Texas.
I've never owned an elaborate Stereo system either in any of my vehicles or homes only 1 out of all of my current vehicles even has a functioning radio at least it worked the last time it was turned on but it doesn't have knobs just touch screen and no AM that I have found so I never bother to turn it on

Naa. too much trouble talk shows would be the only thing I would listen to anyway and if you heard one 10 or 20 years ago they are still saying the same things today they get boring after a couple of minutes

Thanks... I just bought this exact one off of Amazon this evening. Hoping it will help my way too static AM reception in my shop.

Gone but not forgotten the bus scaffold served me well but is no longer convenient to use
I will build a much smaller scaffold on a smaller truck chassis later if I decide I need one.
the 3/4" treated plywood is going to be repurposed as the floor of the landings in the stairway
Some of the 2x4s will become part of the stud wall for the restroom

This is about as close as it gets to parking my storage trailer exactly where I wanted it. Next I will knock the axles and stuff out from under it and lower it to the ground


I might not have been able to get it this close if there had been someone trying to guide me
