For most people, it’s “just the radio.” Maybe you listen in the car on the way to work. Maybe it’s something you keep in a drawer in case of emergencies. But, everyone has a passion in life, and for some people it’s radio. There are far worse things in life to be passionate about. Those folks won’t be satisfied with the little wire coming out of a clock radio or the telescoping chrome antenna of a pocket radio. They want something serious. Well, Solid Signal is here to help.
Take a look at the image above
If you’re serious about radio, you need to get serious about this antenna. Not much to look at, the DX Engineering AM/FM External Outdoor High Definition Radio Antenna is the absolute cream of the crop for people who are desperate for that old-school broadcast lovin’. It mounts outdoors or in the attic and gives you absolutely top-notch radio reception.
There’s not a whole lot that I can say about this antenna except it just works. DX Engineering is not the first manufacturer to make an antenna from these plans, but they are the only company currently licensed to make them. If you see an imposter and it doesn’t carry the Pixel name, keep moving because if you’re interested in the absolute top quality you want this antenna, not a cheap imitation. There are plenty of companies trying to put their own name on knockoffs, and the quality is not generally that good.
My experience with this antenna
At Solid Signal, we’ve been carring the DX Engineering AFHD4 for years. When we first started selling it, it was made by a company called Pixel, but the manufacturing rights were bought by DX Engineering several years ago. It was a rather odd story and to be honest I’m still not completely sure what went down. It doesn’t matter. This antenna has always been a strong seller and I am always amazed at how well it sells. You would think that there would be some dropoff, that pretty much everyone who wants a radio antenna would have one, but this thing just keeps on selling like hotcakes. Think about that the next time someone tells you broadcast radio is dead — it clearly isn’t.
The antenna’s pretty big — a little under five feet when it’s all put up. Of course it puts that size to good use with radio reception of up to 80 miles or even further on clear nights with AM radio. I’ve heard of people getting AM from hundreds of miles away, although I wouldn’t promise that kind of result for anyone. All I’m saying is that if any radio antenna can do it, this one can.
