Re: LF: RE: Best receiving antenna wanted

I built a version of the PA0RDT mini-whip just using an MPF102 and 2N3904 and it did a quite credible job on 136 and 500kHz even using it in the shack. It would be even better out in the clear away from the house noise sources.

Hi Horst, Jim, LF,

Same here, I have used a PA0RDT Mini-Whip active antenna for a good while now & it's performance is very good right down to 10kHz, may even go lower if I knew what to look for !!!

My online grabbers use the Mini-Whip antenna.

Hi Horst

I've just installed one of Roelof Bakker's (PA0RDT) active mini whips and it
is excellent at my QTH.  Just my view, others may have different experiences

With best regards


Jim

Subject: LF: Best receiving antenna wanted

Hello,
now that I am happy with my selectiv level meter Praecitronic MV-62 I am
looking for the best receicing antenna.
Especially I am interested in 400khz, 136kHz, 72kHz and below 22 kHz. With
my 40m longwire reception is not good enough and with a frame antenna of
900m copper wire it was disappointing, too..
I think, an active antenna for 0 to 500 MHz would be the best for me - but I
am looking forward to any other idea.
