The Survival Antenna has at least doubled the distance I can reach with my portable radio. You don't have to climb a high hill or mountain to ask your neighbors for help to get a bear or a moose - it's amazing! I read reviews before buying and one guy (Elmer) said it was cheap.

Great product worth every penny

Pros
  • Great solution for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
