I have a WWV radio which interfaces to a computer on our network to
provide us with an accurate time clock.  Due to recent construction
nearby, our reception has gotten much worse.  The radio cannot maintain
a good signal long enough or often enough to stay in High Spec mode.

I was wondering whether a preamp would be effective in inproving the
reception.  Local TV and Radio stores claim not to have a preamp for
5 and 10 MHz signals, but it seems to me a preamp for a television
should work.

What do people out there suggest?

Any and all comments would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
