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...

Well,Mr.Tiny Tuna Tenna,I am expecting my check in my snail mail any day
now for all of my free advertising about those worthless Tiny-Tennas.I
bet a metal Tuna Fish can would make a far better Antenna than those dip
poles you are messing around with.

If you don't like MFJ products,go buy a Tiny-Tenna.

I own a weird looking old Zenith antique antenna I bought at the Flowers
Fleamarket years ago.(Flowers is ten miles East of Vicksburg,twenty
seven miles due West of my doggys couch) It is made of cardboard (or
something like that) and it has the Zenith name on it in big letters and
lots and lots of fine wire on the outside of it.It is rectangular shaped
and taller than it is wide.It isn't for sale,I like my old junk.
