Hello Everybody,

This will be of interest to many of you and especially those who DX on
the MW band.

And don't bother replying that these antennas "don't do anything" or
they "aren't any good" or "I tried it and it didn''t do a thing!" They
do INDEED work well WHEN YOU KNOW HOW TO USE THEM which you "naysayers"
obviously don't. (I've owned and used a Stelect-A-Tenna for over ten
years.)

But the review by Jay Allen really says it all. Check it out.

JA, - Thank You for Posting this Message and Link ~ RHF

You are right - If someone takes the time to read Jay Allen's
Review of the Select-A-Tenna (SAT) and Terk AM Advantage
Medium Wave (MW) Loop Antennas :
LOOP = http://www.radiointel.com/review-2loop.htm
They will have a better understanding of How To Use Them
-and- What Reasonable Results to Expect from both with
a variety of AM/MW Radios.

This isn't complicated. You just put it next to the radio orientated to
couple to the radios internal loop stick antenna. Then you just adjust
it to the operating frequency to peak the signal. If you have an
interfering station on channel you rotated them together to null it.
Easiest thing to do is use a lazy susan to rotate the tuned loop and
radio together. That's all there is to it.

"What Reasonable Results to Expect from

I think what Jay Allen communicates is that which some smaller
Radios with very small Ferrite Rod Antennas the Results form
using an External Loop Antenna can be . . . A W E S O M E !

Then - When other people use the same External Loop Antenna
with some larger Radios with very large Ferrite Rod Antennas
find that the Results are often only 'slight' : But never the less
there is some improvement in Signal and in Reception.
