@CARLiCON3 жыл бұрын
nice demo, thanks for sharing- just my 2 cents & I realize this was a quick first test but I don't think comparing it against the built-in telescopic indoors is a fair fight. These days, any radio using the built-in telescopic indoors will pick up an enormous amount of stray RF, enough to completely block many signals, where as the AN-1 being outside & using properly shielded cabling does not suffer from that interference. Also antennas are very directional so to really compare, you'd need to take the Sangean radio outside to where the AN-1 is located & repeat the test.

I've been listening to SW radio since the early 60's. It was great fun then but many of the great stations are gone now. I still listen today but I can't find near as many stations as you have with the AN-1. I'm going to find one and try it. Great idea!!

Wait 12 months I have a very new type of loop antenna that I am currently working on, for LW, MW and SW bands. That will have a number of advantages over your standard active antenna. So there is hope out there for radio DXing, with newer antenna designs, that will be available soon.

Hi Tom, I’ve read mixed reviews on the use of active antennas when used within buildings mostly negative reviews. However, with that in mind, I’me interested in how they perform in areas well away from rf interference. A year on from making this video, I’me wondering wether your still enthusiastic about this antenna regarding it’s overall MW/SW performance especially when your out on your radio ventures. I’me considering the AN-1 for mobile use, finding quiet locations away from interference. I’me thinking despite the negative reviews, operating in quiet rf locations could offer some good potential listening results. Your video presentation shows to be worthwhile.

greetings from Berlin. If you stumble across this comment, just curious to see if you think the AN 1 is a decent enough antenna for shortwave listening. There is a seller in Germany offering a newish one in box and I am quite tempted, though not cheap. Generally | use portables outside with a reel antenna attached and generally that set up works quite well. Would the AN 1 add much to that? thanks, Andrew

I wish SONY would produce updated version of excellent amplified shortwave antenna, SONY an-1. If you come by a used model, don't connect to the mains, but rather usefresh AA batteries to avoid RFI from your electrical grid. But do put an-1 up out in the open away from all obstructions 100 feet if possible.

Have an AN-1 from around 1984, worked fine with a Sony SW55, which sadly has failed following battery leakage and a broken AM Sensor switch. Only the clock works from 0:00. Used to listen to HCJB Equador and made a few pen friends around the world. HAM was ok., thinking now about getting a SDR and using that on my Mac. but unsure if the AN-1 is good enough for 1khz to 2Ghz.?

Can you tell me what it is called? It's not a BCT, or RCA or the rest. I have a antenna with a SMA lead into it. Kids here don't know what I am talking about. I have 150 feet of RG 58 coax.
