I'm sure it works to boost signals. Too bad it isn't mounted in a
frame to allow directional tuning.

Default Twin Coil Ferrite Antenna , Any good ?

Dear Sir,

I own a Select-A-Tenna; it works well for boosting MW signals,
especially in the daytime. I also own two Wellbrook ALA 330S Active
Loop Antennas. This antenna is NOT designed for MW reception, yet it
works quite well, much better than expected on MW.

Finally, I also own the C. Crane Twin-Coil Ferrite Antenna in which
you are interested. Frankly, I do not DX very much on the MW band, but
I have found that the C. Crane, which is in my den, works at least as
well (and sometimes better) than my Wellbrooks, mounted higher up in
my attic, do on MW. I have the antenna module placed on a window sill
on which I can rotate it. Placing it on an inexpensive lazy susan near
a window is also a possibility.

If you are indeed serious about MW DXing, your $99.95 will be money
VERY well spent. This product is, in my opinion, superb. It can be
used powered with batteries or via its AC adapter which is very quiet
and it comes with connectors for just about any common radio. (It can
even be used inductively just like the Select-A-Tenna if your radio
has no antenna input.) I also recommend buying at least the 25-foot
extension cable (and, maybe the 50-foot one as well or, if money is a
bit tight and you can't afford both, just the 50-foot one in place of
the 25-foot one) and one, two, or more of the $4.95 couplers. These
accessories are well-worth their cost.

This, again in my opinion, is an extremely well-designed product that
does everything that is claimed for it. It is also very well
constructed. I have owned mine for three or four years.

I'm quite sure you will be pleased with it.

Best,

Joe

P.S. Remember, with C. Crane, if you don't like it, you can return it.
