The nighttime coverage is more restricted, a dumbbell pattern going south about 30 miles from Seven Hills, north over the lake, west just past Oberlin, east past Mentor and Chardon. There is considerable work to be done on the 1420 AM transmitter site, which will improve reception, especially at night. We hope to have this done by the end of summer. For some northeast Ohio listeners, this will be their first opportunity to hear WCLV, since our AM signal will extend further in some directions than the current 95.5 signal. No single factor can improve radio reception more than a better antenna.
Portable radios have an internal antenna.
Try turning the body of the radio in different directions to improve the quality of the reception. Be sure to attach it to the AM terminals on the back of your receiver. Turn the antenna in different directions until optimal reception is obtained. Annoying buzzes are often transmitted through an AM radio. It's best to eliminate the interference at its source.
