Thank you, Gray. I'm looking forward to hearing the results of your
"subjective test." Judging from the literature that came with the antenna,
they suggest best place for it is on or near the sill of that window.

I've got to fish a wire through the wall for the longwire I'm hooking to my
ATS-909, and I'm seriously considering fabricating an extension lead for the
Justice antenna module as long as I'm at it, and mounting it high in my
attic.

Vicksburg is a beautiful town -- I hope you're on one of those huge hills!

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.
