I bought this antenna on a 30 day trial, and just got it about 12 hours ago.
So far I'm not at all impressed. I live about 150 miles from an AM station,
at 810, in the SF/SJ Bay Area, which has a marginal signal, but usually
listenable. Putting a new PSU in a PC about a month ago increased the noise
in AM radios 70-100' from the PC to an almost unacceptable level. I had
hoped the antenna would boost the signal enough to knock down the noise.



The 'noise' is _also_ a signal -- just one that nobody wants to receive.
The "C. Crane's Twin Ferrite Antenna" happily 'improves' the reception
of the noise -- in addition to the signal(s) you desire.

Let me guess: That PSU was "Made in China".

Yes, you absolutely guessed the right country. I called the tech support and
they were less than useful. I asked about a circuit diagram. Sorry, we don't
have one to give out.

The trick here is that I see absolutely no change at all. One would think
maybe the volume might increase, but nay.
