Review: A Signal Savior – Sangean ANT-60 Short Wave Antenna Review - I'm thrilled to share my outstanding experience with the Sangean ANT-60 Short Wave Antenna! As an avid shortwave radio enthusiast and DXer (distant signal hunter), I've struggled with mediocre antennas – until this game-changer arrived. **Unboxing and Build Quality** The ANT-60 arrived promptly, well-packaged, and surprisingly lightweight. Its compact design (23.6 x 5.5 x 2.4 inches) belies its powerful performance. The antenna's sturdy construction and sleek appearance suggest superior quality – which it delivers. **Easy Installation and Versatility** Setup was a breeze – merely attach the included BNC connector to my radio and mount the antenna vertically or horizontally (I chose vertical). The ANT-60 works seamlessly with various shortwave radios, scanners, and receivers. Its wide frequency range (2-30 MHz) covers essential shortwave bands. **Signal Boost and Noise Reduction** The real magic happens when you turn on your radio – signals leap to life! The ANT-60 significantly enhances reception quality, pulling in distant stations with clarity and strength. Noise reduction is equally impressive, minimizing interference and static. My favorite international broadcasts now sound crystal clear. **Performance Comparison and Field Testing** Side-by-side testing with my previous antenna revealed the ANT-60's superiority – stronger signals, better selectivity, and reduced fading. Field tests in various environments (urban, rural, indoors, outdoors) consistently demonstrated its excellence. **Conclusion** The Sangean ANT-60 Short Wave Antenna has revolutionized my shortwave listening experience – stronger signals, reduced noise, and effortless installation make it a must-have for enthusiasts. Whether you're a casual listener or serious DXer, this antenna will elevate your enjoyment.

So my question is--- how do you attach this ant to your radio?//Thanks** A: For the direct connection to work, the radio must have a jack (like the headphone jack) marked antenna. Not all radios have this direct connection and that is why Sangean includes the clip on pictured which attaches to your radio's telescopic antenna. **Q: Does the antenna "base" have adhesive/magnet on the bottom? Would like to put the antenna where one of the two is required.** A: This antenna consists of a long, thin, strong wire on a reel. To deploy the antenna you connect the free end of the wire to your radio either with the attached plug or by clipping the provided adapter to the radio's telescoping antenna. Next you unspool the wire, positioning it as much in the clear as possible. The far end of the wire is permanently attached to the reel.. The reel has short lanyard with a clip that you can use to attach to whatever is at hand. **Q: Would this product help with picking up fm stations on my fm/am portable stereo? i have trouble with midrange power fm stations at my workplace.** A: Yes it worked great for me. I receive about twice as many FM stations. **Q: Does it work or make the reception better w/ the Tecsun PL380?** A: I can't say for the Tecsun 380 but use it with a Tecsun 310et and Tecsun PL660 with very good results and have picked up places like Australia and New Zealand from southeast Ohio. I think the main difference between the 310 and 380 is that the 310 has an external antenna jack. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Signal Savior – Sangean ANT-60 Short Wave Antenna Review *by T***N on January 26, 2025* I'm thrilled to share my outstanding experience with the Sangean ANT-60 Short Wave Antenna!

AAAA+++++ *by E***D on January 11, 2026* Item shipped right away, excellent service. The antenna is great, works really well for shortwave reception. Very satisfied. AA+++ ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very useful, simple accessory *by N***K on May 13, 2008* I have two Eton (Grundig) radios. Both the S350DL and the mini300 are good radios for me. The addition of this useful little accessory, this random wire, has made both radios even better receivers. In short, sometimes the additional antenna helps with reception, sometimes the effect is negligible, in a few instances it is best to disconnect the antenna. In talking to a friend who is very knowledgeable about all things radio, this is what can be expected of this type of simple, easy to use, equipment. I do use this antenna in conjunction with a grounding wire when using the S350DL, and I find the combination to be very effective. The sensible adapter clip works fine with either radio's antenna. Were I to recommend any improvements to this product (I am doing so here), I'd suggest the addition of a sort of lock-in-place device, such as one often finds on tape measures, or fishing spools. The strap is handy, but a hook of some sort off of the spool case would also be a useful feature. Of course, one can fashion a hook and employ it with the strap to partially work around this. These are suggestions from an "indoor user", stringing about windows and curtains where these sort of features would be quite useful, and the kind of user likely to gain in numbers over time. Overall, this is a very useful device for better SW listening. I'd recommend this simple antenna to anyone who is looking for a way to easily improve SW reception. It's not a panacea for SW reception issues, but it certainly does help one's reception in a lot of circumstances. The reasonable price and super saver delivery are also positive factors. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sangean ANT-60 Short Wave Antenna - XHDATA AN-80 Shortwave Reel Antenna FM SW External Antenna Whip Antenna to Improve Signal Reception Suitable for FM SW Radio - Eton Elite Executive AM/FM/Aircraft Band/SSB/Shortwave Radio --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1895808-ant-60-short-wave-antenna](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1895808-ant-60-short-wave-antenna) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
