Hi, Gray!

Yeah, the folks left at C.Crane renamed the Chris Justice Antenna (now that
he's no longer with them -- he's at RadioLabs).

I agree with everything you wrote about it. If you live in an accidental
"Faraday cage" because of metal studs or siding, it's a great way to bring
in strong AM signals.

Also, to answer another post, yes -- it is directional, but I don't find it
as quite as directional as a CCRadio+, even though it has two of the same
8-inch ferrite coils in it that the CCRadio has.

The URL is still good but the product is now named:

C. Crane AM Antenna with Twin Coil Ferrite (TCF)


If anyone wants a very well-done review, throw +stinger and +"justice
antenna" into google.


I said I'd give an "informal" opinion on it.


My observations a

1. On many frequencies - both day and night - I will be receiving
absolutely nothing but static + rushing noise with the CCRadio+. When I
turn
on and tune the CC Antenna, I'll get a reasonably strong station "most of
the
time" (subjective).

2. Particularly at night but - occasionally during the day - I can, by
tuning the antenna, actually get two stations on one frequency and get
both
of them quite well enough for them to be "clear (or "4x4" if you like that
sort of rating).


The antenna works.

I'm in a horrible location over the river and under the hill and with only
a
sealed-window facing South for an indoor antenna. I have the antenna
itself
at the midpoint (where the top and bottom meet).

A very impressive antenna.
