Review on Sangean ANT 100 External Antenna by Chris Kaul

I live in West Norman, Oklahoma and should have cell coverage when the weather is excellent. I use a Midland WR400 weather radio. However, the NOAA folks tuned the stations, and my signal dropped severely. This is the second Sangean ANT-100 that I own. As long as it stays together it's a great antenna and has almost doubled my received signal strength. However, as I said, this is the second of these antennas that I own. The first only lasted a few months and fell apart. Wire connections and sleeves should be treated as FRAGILE...just be careful where you place them. ALSO advertising is sketchy or misleading. The cable is NOT 12 feet long as some of the reference materials on the shopping page suggest. It's really closer to 5 or 6 feet. This is a magnetic antenna that works best with a metal baseplate. I've used the steel gun case that's next to my bed and it works great as a solution.
