FO&A,

"Instead of the CCrane antenna,
I may decide to buy the CC Radio Plus instead."

The CCRadio and the CCRadioPlus both have a 200mm (8") AM/MW
Ferrite Rod Antenna just like the GE Superadios.

Roger that. I've heard three stations on the same graveyard
channel with my "Stupor Radio Three," as I like to call it.
It's quite a good little radio. I want to build a marker generator
for this thing. I wish I could make the dial alignment a little
better - I've realigned it twice, but guess I'll have another go,
one of these days.

No question about the dial... I wish the SR-III was digital. IMO, that is
the major draw back of the SR-III. Instead of the CCrane antenna, I may
decide to buy the CC Radio Plus instead. Having a digital radio will
probably be more of a boost to my medium wave DXing then getting another
feritte bar for my SR-III that already has a nice big one in it.
