  • Wow, this is a very nice project. I will experiment with it, so I can listen to my old antique radio of the 1930’s
  • @igorperuchi2114
    I’m eager to try this! We still have lots of AM stations in my country, mostly religious ones.
  • @ted_van_loon
    the leds on the arduino lighing up might be due to self inductance, might want to design something to protect it in some cases. also gives you a reason to perhaps try out a multistage lc antenna like which they used for the early trans atlantic radio signals.
  • @Evilslayer73
    very cool project where did you find this ferrite antenna?
  • @tree-service
    realy cool. where did you find information about timers of arduino?
  • @arendelle_ok
    Now i can amplify or boost this signal using transistor
  • @mohabossama8084
    how do i connect the ferrite antenna ? (stupid question?)
  • @nelsonngombo5466
    hello please I want to know if it is possible to define a frequency of 90MHz
  • @n8lbv
    Gave ya like number 200 on the video and subscribed! Also please see my question regarding AREF on the instructables page and 🍺Thank You!🍺

    Where is your previois video? This one is good but older video was sooo much easier.
