I would recommend this to a friendNo good for AM radio
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried using this antenna for my antique radios. I have a couple of tunable antennas that work well but tuning them is another step I was trying to eliminate. I thought this might work, but for my AM-only antique radios, it did nothing. I did not test FM performance.

It didn't help.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It didn't really improve my AM reception very much. That might not have been any fault of the product, but it just didn't help reception very much over the non-amplified antenna that I already have.

Poor organizational patterns
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wrong antenna. The system of sending queries on availability of products to a central location rather than the actual store the query is for DOES NOT WORK! We will not try to determine whether or not a Best Buy has any given item available in store by phone ever again.
