My Tenna didn't work so well!!!
 

YUP,
I got me one of those "Tiny Tenna" thingys and had a lot of trouble with
it. I went down to the Radio shack and got me some plugs and it works a
little better.

I got me an adaptor so my headset would plug into the little plug that
came with it then I hung the long thingy to the top of my drape in the front
window of my trailer where I can watch the neighbors come and go and so they
could see my new "Shortwave RADIO".
I took an alligator clamp and a few feet of wire and hooked one end to
the trailer hatch and then moved the clip up and down the long wire thingy
until I got a station.
The reception ain't to good here in the park but the neighbors think it
works great, I just smile and adjust the wires a little. I hope Bill is
going to put a volume control on his new version.

- Well, since it cost about as much as two movie tickets, it's worth
the entertainment value to get one &
hook it up between a longwire and a cheap Shortwave radio..
by God, you can pick up Stations all OVER the world...
& Gypsy caps, & Air planes going over head, & boats going By

Heck.. Might not be Cutting edge technology , but it helps Bill feed
His Five Growing Sons..

Try moving the antenna wire outside the trailer.

No wonder it didn't.You bought a Tiny-Tenna and Tiny-Tennas do NOT work
at all.I KNOW,I ****ed up and bought one of those Worthless Tiny-Tennas
too.

LOL .... I'm pi$$ing myself over here... "I fuc*ed up and bought one of
those ..." LOL ... Your a poet, man...

I wonder if the Tiny-Tenna would perform any better then the first home brew
antenna I made when I was in grade school. I took a plastic laundry basket
and covered it with aluminum foil so that it looked like a demented
satellite dish. Then I used a wire to go from the foil to the whip antenna
on this old beat up Zenith SW radio that was collecting dust in the
basement. I bet that my laundry basket antenna was better then the
Tiny-Tenna... LOL... Man... I wish I had a photo of that antenna. It was a
thing of beauty...
