I haven't used mine in a while either. But back in the 1990s, I wanted to listen to a program that wasn't available in my area. The nearest 50kW boomer station was WOAI in San Antonio. I can catch that station in Tulsa on most decent radios, but it is intermittent, depending on time of day and atmospheric conditions. So to prevent dropouts, I bought a Select-A-tenna. It's just a loop antenna with a variable tuner, you know. Works so well - when I dial it in to WOAI, I get it like it was a local station any time of day. But then a few years later, one of the local Tulsa stations started brodcasting the the program I wanted to hear, so I haven't used that Select-A-tenna since.

I might blow the dust off and take it with me to my commute gig though. During the week, I am in a part of Northwestern Arkansas - right on the edge of the Ozarks - and it's like a black hole here. No radio. I can stream stuff on the internet, of course, but I kind of like using my old analog radios. So I may bring that Select-A-Tenna to the Arkansas Apartment.

Anyway, sorry for the off-topic chatter. Carry on!

Just attach the photos and the forum software will adjust the size to fit on the page. Or if it is a single document file, just attach it. If the document file is too large, let me know and we'll figure it out.

Dude, that's really cool! Thanks for making such a thorough write-up and posting it here. For anyone wanting to try an open-baffle design, this is a simple and inexpensive one. It's not just drivers on a panel either - You've done your homework. Nice job!
