I still use my old AM radio in the shop. I have a roll of thin steel wire attached to the antenna and it works pretty good, even with my LED lights. For whatever reason, my battery chargers really screw up reception, pretty much completely wipe it out when a battery is charging.

I do use a Bluetooth speaker and stream a lot of podcasts and other stuff when my AM talk shows aren’t on.

I use the am radio on my iPhone and in my truck and through my computer, when working and driving. I used to listen to NPR in the morning and then Rush Limbaugh in the afternoon, I miss listening to Rush . I want to hear both sides of the conversation and make up my own mind.

I also miss Rush.

Should of saved yourself some pain and just listened to Rush. You'd eventually hear their take on the story on Rush's shoe or Glenn's if they had a worthwhile take. If not ever covered the story.. I used to do the same thing until the 2008 election.

You should be able to find something here.

My portable am/fm that I take to different areas when I want to listen to a ball game or such died. Replaced it with this.... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QQWBHZV?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 good am reception about $30

Also have CC Crane but the above one I can throw in the truck and not be concerned

Rush was the best! Clay and Buck are okay, but would be better without Clay. Right now Jesse Kelly is my favorite. Sean Hannity is full of himself and very repetitive. Joe Paggs also has a great program.

I pretty much can't get any radio stations where I live so I listen off my laptop with an external speaker plugged in. I have to say though radio stations that are worth listening to are few and far between. I end up listening to mostly podcasts and audio books while I work in the shop.

Took 2 guys to replace Rush, and they both fall short, they're ok, but you can't replace "El Rushbo"
I only listen to AM while driving, rarely listen to music either, there's a country station available but this new crap is unlistenable

There are several Rush replacements and none of them even come close. What most forget was Rush was first and foremost an entertainer. He said so many times. He started early in life as a maverick music DJ on local radio. He took all that and folded it into a talk show. Yes his was a conservative message, but presented in an entertaining way you went out of your way to hear it. Even the liberals. All the replacements just stick to the politics. They all got their start somewhere else. They don't have this kind of entertainment talent in them.

Thanks for the ideas! Lots of options in this thread.

My old radio sat under led lights and next to a dewalt battery charger. I’m guessing that’s what did her in. Doesn’t even work outside now.

Have you checked your antenna?
Take a roll of covered wire and hook it to the antenna and throw the roll of wire over the shop roof.
All of you guys ought to try that.
just

Thanks for your recommendation. I ordered one and the AM reception is a lot better than any other radio I own.
