You have my interested peaked, sounds like the antenna works really well.
Scanned thru the C.Crane Co. orphan's section, but no Justice AM Antenna.
Is it listed frequently as an orphan or do I need to just keep looking?



It is fairly often listed as an "orphan" but, iirc, it is usually ten or
twenty (don't remember which) dollars off the normal $100.

I was setting up to do an overall review of it (with a CCradioPlus) but,
fortunately, "Stinger" beat me to it (he did a better job than I would have
done).

However, a couple of days ago, I went through all the MW freqs and, using a
very subjective percentage rating, wrote down all the freqs on which a
station was legible. If I don't get too sleepy, I'll do a nighttime check
using the same subjective ratings.

Then I can get the thing out of its box and find out how well it works
sigh/grin.

I'm about 2-1/2 hours north of "Stinger" but what will make my test "tough"
is that I''m now in an apartment with gross amounts of metal in the walls and
the only place I can use an antenna is a 4'x8' window (no openings to the
outside at all - windows are permanently shut and no one can get to the roof,
so this is going to be a rough place to get RF (oh - the worst part of it is
that the window is on the southern side sigh).

So we shall see.
