I should add that you may also need to adjust the antenna trimmer in 
your radio. Every radio has one of these, which is there to 
compensate for the exact capacitance in your antenna lead-in cable. 
There should be a place where you can stick in a very small insulated 
screwdriver and turn it until you get the best reception at a station 
near the bottom of the AM dial.

The adjustment position varies with the radio model. You may have to 
remove the front panel of the radio to see the hole for this 
adjustment. I'm away from home right now, but if you'll tell us which 
model Sapphire you have, someone may be able to help you find that 
adjustment.
