Definitely an interesting approach: "This is an easy to use Antenna that
you simply place beside your radio, no wires to attach !"

I just got this loop antenna in the mail a couple of days ago. I haven't
tried it at the office yet, but it works well at boosting weak AM stations
in the early evening.

I'm in southern Manitoba and usually listen to KFAB 1110 Omaha Nebraska at
night (just for a laugh). In the winter the station usually comes in
clear,
but in the summer it's hit and miss. This loop antenna was able to boost
a
barely audible signal to a listenable level. It's probably just the same
as
a select a tenna or the Terk 1000 , and it works between 515 to 1920 kHz.
My results with the TG-33 antenna didn't even come close.

The seller marked it as a gift, so no customs or sales tax

I finally have an office where I can have a radio. Unfortunately it
is on the bottom floor - more or less a basement and has no window. I
am getting a CCRadio Plus (yes I have read the pros and cons but I got
a good deal relatively speaking to the list price, and have a 30-day
trial). My opinion is that I may need some sort of other antenna
especially for AM and maybe FM too for that matter due to the possibly
poor building location, plus it is a small town so the best stations
are at least 50 - 100 miles. I know about the selct-a-tenna etc. Crane
sells but am not eager to pony up more $ should I need an external
antenna. Is there anything that will look suitable for office use that
I can add to the external antenna jack on the Crane if I need it that
won't set me back a lot more cash? Thanks.
