SUPER ANTENNA REVIEW BY JIM BAUDO |
 THIS WAS
THE TALK OF THE SHOW MARCH 2, 2003. THIS LITTLE BABY LASTED ABOUT 3
MINUTES.
THE NEW OWNER PUT IT ON HIS DISPLAY TABLE TO DEMO HIS RADIO'S. EVERYBODY THAT WALKED BY HIS TABLE ASKED, WHO MAKES IT, HOW MUCH, WHERE CAN I GET IT. I HAVE BEEN TO HUNDREDS OF HAM FESTS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN THIS ANTENNA AND IT IS ONE THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE. NO ONE HAD THE ANSWERS OF WHO MAKES IT, HOW MUCH, WHERE CAN I GET IT! I TOLD EVERYONE I WOULD TRACT IT DOWN AND POST TO MY WEBSITE AND CONTACT THE MANUFACTURE AND IMMEDIATELY DO A REVIEW ON IT. ABOUT 6 HOURS AFTER THE SHOW OPENED A HAM FROM MISSOURI CAME OVER AND TOLD ME IT WAS A SUPER ANTENNA. HE SAID HE HAD WANTED TO BUY ONE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND HAD EVEN EMAILED ME AND DESCRIBED IT TO ME. AND ASKED IF I KNEW WHO MADE IT. HE SAID HE HAD CALLED HRO, UNIVERSAL AND A FEW OTHER DEALERS, NONE CARRIED IT. |
| HE FOUND THE NAME FROM A FELLOW AT A HAMFEST, THAT HAD BOUGHT ONE USED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. HE HAD BROKEN HIS AND HAD IT FOR SALE. IT GOT BENT OVER WHEN HE FORGOT TO TAKE IT OFF WHEN HE ENTERED THE UNDER GROUND PARKING. HE HAD CALLED ALL OVER TRYING TO FIND A REPLACEMENT TOP EXTENSION, TO NO AVAIL. SO DECIDED TO SELL IT FOR PARTS. |
| I WILL MAKE IT A POINT TO FIND THE SUPER ANTENNA COMPANY AND I WILL TRACK THEM DOWN. JIM, N0UQZ 2/2/2003 |

| UPDATED 1/16/04 NOW THAT THE HAMFESTS ARE IN FULL SWING I AM GETTING E-MAIL EVER DAY ASKING ABOUT THIS ANTENNA LINE. I TRIED TO CALL THE FACTORY, THE PHONE LEAD TO A DEAD END IT SOUNDED LIKE A FAX MACHINE. THE PICTURES AND DESCRIPTION ON THE WEB ARE POOR QUALITY AND LITTLE INFORMATION. THEY HAVE HAD SOME NEW PRODUCT POSTED ON THE WEBPAGE. THE MODELS OF THE TUNER ARE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THE DEALERS HAVE IN STOCK. DEALERS ARE PRICING THE SUPER MP 1 AT $199.95. ON THE COMPANY WEBSITE ITS $150.00. I WISH I COULD BE OF MORE HELP. JIM, N0UQZ |
