Install that external RAA1 AM antenna up in the attic. There's a lot of cool stuff on AM, and at night you can pull in stations from all around the country. A sound system without a tuner is incomplete in my opinion.
Glad to hear the Magnum Dynalab ST-2 antenna is doing its job well. Installing it in the attic at that elevation definitely improves it's ability to receive signals. My ST-2 is mounted at 28 feet from the ground to the bottom of the antenna on a second story eave outside. Even in this rural north Florida location and acres of oak and pine all around my home, the ST-2 does an excellent job with my McIntosh MR88 tuner.

Honestly, I didn't give AM a second thought. I have NO idea what AM stations have to offer. But, It will not take much more than a half hour to set it up and give it a try. Heck, I may be pleasantly surprised.
