STINGER,

I would Agree with your assessment of the Justice AM Antenna.

"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."

To me Justice AM Antenna by C. Crane Co. is a "Great Signal Magnet"
for those who are in locations that have very poor AM/MW Reception.

* The Justice AM Antenna is directional but not as directional
as a Select-A-Tenna Model 541-M; or a home made Box Loop Antenna
of about 15" or bigger.

* The Justice AM Antenna's 'advantage' over the Select-A-Tenna
Model 541-M; or a home made Box Loop Antenna of about 15" or bigger;
is that is an ACTIVE "Tuned AM/MW Antenna" and because of it's
built-in Amplifier the Justice AM Antenna has more Gain.

IMHO: When compared to the Quantum "QX" Loop Antenna or the Kiwa MW
Air Core Loop Antenna: The Justice AM Antenna is NOT as Directional
as those two.

FWIW: For me the Justice AM Antenna will Always be the "Justice
AM Antenna (JAMA) that is sold by the 'c. crane co.' .

TBL: The Justice AM Antenna is the 'best' VALUE for the $100 of
any of the Commercial AM/MW Antennas on the Market Today.
- PENDING - The Release of the upcoming "PETE [KE9OA] MW Loop Antenna".

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.
