Went into the Woody and gave it a spray. Not a great improvement, but some. There's nothing but motorboating on SW, and AM is definitely needing work. The ressurected one is much better across the board, although all the AM bands are badly affected by electrical noise here. Dwellings are such electrically dirty places these days! Fluorescents, switch-mode power supplies, etc etc. Will take it out onto Dartmoor next week (house and dog-sitting) and see how it does in the wild!
Will really need to invest in a good set of new D cells also.
