Tiny Tenna any good?
How laughable.
Who buys into the whole "active antenna" thing? Some of my best SWLing has
been with a 5 or 6 foot hunk of wire laying on the floor.
Put your effort into a getting a good alignment. That will do you far better
than these red herring gadgets that are just like a shiny lure to a sucker.
When you amplify, you amplify EVERYTHING...noise, distortion and often these
gadgets inject products into the mixer that screw up your IF tracking,
reducing the inherent performance of your receiver.
Quit looking for a "magic pill" and get back to basics: 1. Good alignment.
2. Wire antenna in unobstructed free space.
That's all you need.
