If you are having trouble receiving a good signal from 640AM WNNZ we can suggest the following options. However, it is important to remember that the station, which broadcasts at 50,000 watts of power during sunlight hours, is only allowed to broadcast at 1,000 watts from sundown to sunrise. These are rules set forth by the Federal Communications Commission (F.C.C.) and unfortunately there is nothing WFCR can do about that. Therefore, in most of Hampshire County and all of Franklin County there really is nothing you can do to improve reception at night. You can however always stream 640AM at wfcr.org or listen to it through a WiFi radio at home.
At C. Crane you will find a whole line of antennae for improving AM reception. You may be able to find something similar at a Radio Shack. C.Crane also sells the GE Superadio III which offers superior AM performance.
If you have WiFi network set-up in your home for your computer or other purposes try the selections available at the NPR Shop.
WiFi radio is the most revolutionary thing to happen in radio this decade. You can pick up over 6,000 radio stations world wide. No crackles, pops, boundaries or fees. Nine out of ten new WiFi radios can be set up in a few minutes.
Of course you can listen to 640AM WNNZ and WFCR’s other program streams including links right at WFCR.org. Now you can be anywhere in your home, even with your computer turned off, and be able to listen, with no interference, to clear static-free radio or to your own computer based or iPod music library.
