Hello Graham.
Can you remember the name of the web site where the layout was?, I did my
own layout but it was not all that successful when tested on 198kHz S/N
improved but no increase in level, although this may have been because I
wound two 20mH inductors for the power feed and may have been too greater
inter-winding capacitance, for use on VLF.

Ok  , Tnx , Roelof,

I thought that  may be the  case, but  before  doing it , best  to ask ...

I have a pcb layout (from web)  for  a  mini-whip   Ae  and after your post 
, that the  bfq19 is a better  option, was going to alter the  track to 
take the  surface mount device, would  need  to  be on the  track  side  of 
the  board.  At 1.5 mm  pitch  will  not be that  simple !

Q there a  commercial  PCB  available ?
