Hi Stefan, VLF
Yes. I agree there is work to be made reducing the noise picked by the antenna. Or directly looking for
an alternative Rx site which less noise
The VLF Rx is already running at my remote Rx location at 7Km from Benidorm. But it is a populated area
with close neighbours, street lights, etc. The probe is on top of the roof in a 6m pole. Last 1m section made
with PVC pipe. The location is IM98xn, close to the sea and not very high.
The antenna probe is 1m alu rod 10mm diameter. The MiniWhip is also attached to the last 1m PVC pole
I'm using one of your designs, with separated front end right at the probe and the rest down in the shack
using about 20m 75Ohm TV coax. The details can be found at G3XBM site (fully recommended)
Will be hard to reduce the noise at this site. So the "B plan" is to build a new E probe and use an spare PC
to setup a new receiver. I will test this in different locations I can "borrow" and find if it works in any of them
But first in my "To-Do" list is VLF. I'm almost ready to go with 100w just needing some more work
Keep tuned ! ;-)
