I am looking forward to hear of your findings. I have been using one for six years now in a suburban environment. Though just 6 meter from the house and five meter up, I have had amazing catches at LF. I have had aural copy from NDB IPA on Easter Island in the Pacific that transmitted on 280 kHz. This station has only been logged by three listeners in Europe. One used a beverage, the other a K9AY and yours truly a mini-whip. And also solid decodes on NAVTEX at 518 kHz from Japan, China and Taiwan. So, yes, the antenna seems to work! 73, Roelof, pa0rdt
