In principle both antennas performed equally well in receiving NDB's. If there was a difference, the active whip gave just a little better result. Noise bursts hardly if at all audible on the active
Roelof, have you by any chance compared your active whip with the Amrad E-field probe? Both work on the same principles and it would be interesting to know how do they compare. 73 Alberto I2PHD P.S.
Hi Alberto, do you have a description of the Amrad E-field probe? I cant find it on the net. Regards Uwe/dj8wx Hi Uwe, probably you haven't found it because it is referred to as "Amrad active antenna

Dear Roleof, LF Group, Most radio amateur textbooks state that qrm from a local noise source is due to the electric part of the electro-magnetic field and has a vertical polarisation. An active whip
Jim's comments make sense, and I hope to do some experiments as time permits. I have been treating LF receive loops as balanced antennas, with no intended ground reference. This has been easy in my c

....hmmmm, I couldn't wait until tomorrow, so I installed the antenna on the roof at the end of the afternoon, then ran in the shack to listen to it (or with it...) At LF it performs very well, Rugby
