A bundle of clip leads would work better for the same price.

[cuh...@webtv.net]

I think mine was DOA.A few years ang the guy who makes and sells them
told me in this here very self same rec.radio.shortwave newsgroup that
perhaps I didn't have it hooked up right.I had read the instructions
that came with my sooper dooper Tiny Tenna when it showed up at my
house.I had installed a new fresh 9 volt battery in the little battery
holder clip and I tried it out on a bunch of my old radios, exactly like
the instructions said to do, but I didn't notice any improvement at
all.You can build one yourself for only a few dollars worth of parts,
Radio Shack stores probably have the parts you will need.Yes indeed, the
Amazing Tiny Tenna Amplified Radio Antenna! Get yours today!

In Theory,

you can take one,

put it in a shielded enclosure,attacha co-ax lead in to it

attacha 30 foot random wire to teh co-ax

- and, by setting your receiver to an empty frequency

totally overload the front end of a cheap receiver;

- giving you a wide range of signals . . .Airplanes, Gypsy Cabs,

If the Folks up at Ruby Ride had this set up

then might be alive today . .

That wire that has a little alligator clip on it, put a fish hook on
there and a piece of a shinny spoon about half way up the wire.They make
great fish lures.

I asked this years ago. . .can you still get the Tiny Tenna in Burnt Sienna?

[John Newby]

I checked and apparently they don't sell them anymore. Actually, both the Tiny-Tenna and the Pill Bottle Antenna Tuner they had were pilfered from Doug DeMaw's "QRP Notebook".
