Nigel,
Try to get the Mini-Whip outside the
building & well away if you can, you should get reduced local noise pickup
from house wiring etc. I found that a small change in position can make a big
difference.
I tuned the G3LNP loop to
17.2KHz to receive & compared it with the
Mini-Whip & could barely
hear SAQ on the Mini-Whip due to local noise, I was
able to rotate the loop
for best results, pleased I went to the trouble of
tuning the
loop.
25 miles north of London, with a mini whip mounted inside the apex of a
single story cottage's slate roof -- about 5 metres agl, signals were just about
readable on an Icom R70 and WR313i.
Local noise was the biggest problem here too.
My LF loops are packed pending relocation so didn't have anything
else available to compare it with.
I'm now praying it doesn't rain before the 1300 schedule as about to
elevate the whip through a loft window and see if that does any
better:-)
regards
Nigel
