Review: Works pretty well. - This does help to bring in stations that are on the edge of regular receprtion with your radio. Not fantastic, but it does help for clarity. Review: Actually using it on an old Heathkit WWV clock now. - I connected to my old Heathkit GC-1000 “Most Accurate Clock” initially, as it has always had reception problems in this apartment. Not sure how much it improved things but after resyncing to WWV when powered on a mysterious 10 minute offset that suddenly appeared last year vanished (I suspect that was more due to the reset than the antenna though). I purchased this clock (and RS-232 option) for my Western Digital Pascal MicroEngine, after getting tired of manually typing the date and time every time I bootstrapped the computer. While I quit using the MicroEngine in 1991 and donated it to the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA in 2008, I have kept the Heathkit GC-1000 “Most Accurate Clock” running all these years. Will see how the antenna continues on the Heathkit clock and eventually on the C Crane CC Skywave as I figure out more of its capabilities. ## Features - Improves the performance and reception of any Shortwave Radio - 23 Ft.

Usually you can only get two FM stations, but this time I got five or six. All of the stations were perfectly clear also. I'm very happy with this addition to my radio. ## Frequently Bought Together - C.
