Fantastic MW DXing tool Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've used this antenna for a number of years and it has never failed to impress me with its ability to hone in on wanted signals and finely tune out/null unwanted signals and noise.

It's not a big antenna, sitting about 6" across and fully assembled at 10" high; the plug-in antenna element is about 10" long, bearing a powerful 7.5" ferrite loop inside.

You'll notice quality right away, in fit and finish. Every switch is solid, every knob is smooth and even, and the adjustable loop 'head' altazimuth mounting is reliably solid and does not lose position or droop downwards after you let go of adjusting it -- being well balanced mechanically as well as electronically has its benefits!

The tuning is simple -- a three position toggle switch lets you select between low, mid and high sections of the AM band, and the main knob tunes it in, smooth and fine.

There is a gain adjustment knob and a Q-multiplier/'QX' knob that really helps tighten up a signal in the noise.

There is also a Q spoiling switch for times when you need it.

The antenna sips on batteries; I've never used any wall/AC power supply with it because one 9V battery lasts a lonnnnng time, 6 or 7 months at the least, even using it for 30 min to 60 min every night of the week.

As always, owner/designer/builder Gerry Thomas makes high quality, affordable and superbly useful products and is an excellent after-purchase communicator. Customer service for ALL businesses should be as attentive and helpful and timely as Gerry always is.

If MW DXing is your thing, seriously... get this loop.
