Review on πŸ“» Reel Antenna for CC Shortwave by Lance Foster

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Improves shortwave radio reception with standard whip antenna

Used with my CCrane Skywave and Tectun 880 radio Tree or any object around the house. Outside is always better. The combination of longer antenna length and a capacitor in series with the coil antenna definitely works for receiving distant shortwave stations. Not for the AM broadcast band on these radios as in this mode they are only connected to the internal ferrite antenna and not to the external whip antenna.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen
