ground antenna
#1

Hello! I am asking this for my dad so bear with me. My dad purchased a 1935 Philco catherdral AM radio from a 90 year old man. The man used rabbit ears with 2 long wires attached to alligator clips that attached to the back of the radio to pick up lots of stations. My dad was unable to talk him into selling the rabbit ears. My dad can only receive a couple stations without this 'antenna'. My dad is saying he needs a ground antenna. So where might I purchase something like these rabbit ears or some sort of inside antenna to help receive more stations? He is elderly and doesn't get around much so this is something he really enjoys and would love to help him out with this. Any and all help would be appreciated. Sorry if I didn't post this in the right forum.
