Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Each station has to be individually tuned. For my location, non-static reception is a miracle. In summation, this antenna is for those trying for dx catches.

Use the rotary knob to squelch out the interference. The antenna is very directional and the tuning knob is really good at peaking the signal.

Long-wave, shortwave and long-wave interference rejection is a major criteria. It performs at about 60% efficiency compared to an average outdoor wire antenna. In some cases, no antenna is better.



Cons

The antenna looks cool on top of my cabinet and for now it's just a piece of decoration. When my tablet and monitor is powered up, i get a static interference and this antenna doesn't work for this issue.
