IMPORTANT NOTE: Getting close to a window may substantially improve your reception. The construction materials of some buildings simply do not let signals in very well. Signals penetrate wood frame buildings easiest, while concrete and brick buildings usually block sig- nals. If you are in a building with one or more stories above you, sig- nals can also be impaired in strength. In such a situation, situate the radio as close to a window as possible while listening. Holding the radio while close to a window may also improve reception.
