I was intruiged by the extra antenna connections on the back of my 610 - there is a note that states that I should connect some kind of antenna - The "All Wave Aerial Transmission Line" - to unleash my set's full potential - and clearly at some stage there was a factory option that could be added.

Is this something worth trying to duplicate ?
Maybe I'd be better off just making a conventional loop antenna ?

The radio works nicely just with a (not very) long line antenna but struggles to pull in some more distant stations. I'd be interested in learning more if anyone has any information or experience with this.

I'm really enjoying the set and use it pretty much every day.
