I've heard good things about this antenna and recently acquired one.
The performance of this antenna is terrible. In fact, it's so bad that
for the past few days I've been scratching my head, wondering what I
could possibly be doing wrong. It's a very simple setup...so simple
that I can't think of anything I *could* be doing wrong. Just hang it


where did you hang it?

and attach it to your receiver


Which reciever? How attached?

and you should be good to go. Yet the
reception I get with this antenna is vastly inferior to what I get
with my whip alone.

Is there something not mentioned in the instructions that I should
know? Please tell me I'm doing something wrong...I don't see how this
antenna could perform so badly and yet get such good reviews.


It is not possible to give an answer on this question.
Please give (much) more details of your setup.

I hung the antenna outside, using the provided nylon cords, on my
balcony. It's attached to the external antenna jack of a portable
receiver (Sony ICF-SW77). I had to use an adaptor so that it would fit
the small antenna jack on my Sony, but it's the same adaptor I've used
with other antennas, which seem to work okay.
