Several folks have written to see if I had any luck tracking down a
replacement antenna for my Dodge Ram that might improve performance on
the AM Band. Like a lot of DX'ers, I spent a fair amount of time
commuting--so many of my new catches are actually made in the truck. I
wanted an antenna to enhance the already good performance of my radio,
especially on the lower part of the band.
A couple of helpful DX'ers pointed me to the Godar DXR-1000C antenna
which claims to provide improved reception on both AM-FM-and even SW
bands. Shortwave in car radios is very popular in Europe, though almost
unheard of in the US.
A link to the antenna is shown below.

My order hasn't arrived yet, but when it does, I'll try it out and then
post a mini-review on the various AM lists. I am curious if other DX'ers
have tried this product in the past, and what kind of results were
obtained.
