It is always amazing how little effort the received power of so many radios can be improved. And the antenna is finally mostly a neglected part, though immensely important: What they do not deliver to the signal voltage, the receiving part can not process well. And one more thing: In this dipole antenna is a dipole, a so-called symmetric antenna. This means that it is more resistant to interference than a simple wire or rod antenna and also has a certain directivity. So only the principle of action already creates better conditions for interference-free reception. And more than this HAMA wire antenna requires you not to do so. However, you should be as well laid out and hang freely, so do not tangled, knotted or shortened to conductive objects. Then it has its best efficiency.
