Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Shortwave radios brought the world together long before the Internet, and now the Sangean ANT-60 antenna helps maximize your shortwave experience. Ideally suited for today's compact shortwave receiver and fully portable inside its convenient, compact carrying case, the ANT-60 extends to a full 23 feet and enhances the performance and reception of your shortwave radio beyond that of a typical built-in telescoping antenna. An adapter plug is provided for those receivers lacking a standard 1/8-inch (3.5mm) miniplug.

This antenna is great for improving weak shortwave signals. It can make a faint signal listenable. As an example, listening to VOA on 17895 kHz from Botswana, with only my Grundig radio's whip antenna, I could not make much out. But with the ANT-60 the signal improved remarkably and I could copy enough to write a reception report, and received a QSL card from VOA verifying I'd heard their Botswana transmitter.
It will *not* do much to improve a fairly good signal, but definitely improves weaker ones. I recommend this antenna to anyone who wants to enhance their listening on portable shortwave radios.

Handy reel type wire antenna for portable shortwave radios increases sensitivity and improves reception. The wire is slightly on the thin side but it's sturdy and well made. An clip adaptor is included for radios without a 1/8" mini-jack that allows you to connect the reel antenna directly to the radio's external antenna.

I tried my Sangean ANT-60 Portable Short Wave Antenna with my Sangean 505, I did not notice any significant improvement with reception, but then again at the time I am living in a rather large city (Mexico City, the biggest in the World).
I took my little radio and antenna on a recent vacation to the US Virgin Islands and attempted to pick up some radio stations from the French Caribbean with the built in whip antenna. I had some luck, but when I connected the ANT-60 I had some improved reception, I was very happy with the result.
I recommend this antenna for non-crowded radio environment.

Convenient travel antenna
It coils nicely without hanging up. Comes with a coupler to clip onto other radio extending antennas. Not a replacement for a home-based antenna. Read more
