Remarks: I'm using a reel antenna much like the Kaito AN-03L or Sangean ANT-60. I've only 23" of wire to work with so it's not much. At this particular outdoor setting I find only marginal improvement over the telescopic. In many cases the whip provides for a cleaner reception. However, the wind-up results show a slight increase in signal strenght. I'm still working on perfecting this antenna's location. Conditions at the park make it difficult to position the antenna and its height is not high at all. I'm working on finding an alternative which will involve a much longer antenna. I'd appreciate any suggessions posters may have. On the positive side, it's great being outdoors in a park setting. Today's Vegas temperature was a pleasant 83. And my little Kaito gives an outstanding performance using only the whip.
