Dear Andy, Roelof, LF Group,

Have you tried to mount it on a four metre high non metallic pole?
It probably is still inside the noise field of the building, which drops
off within a few metres.

That wouldn't make any difference.  The mount to the metal frame was

the outside world.

Putting the active whip on a mast might not reduce the noise level, if this was mainly due to the noise voltage induced on the coax feeder. But increasing the height of the whip above the local ground plane should increase the signal voltage induced on the whip, so the SNR should still improve.

I think the role of the ground with active whips is often neglected - the output of the whip preamp is the voltage differential between the whip element and the circuit ground, so the ground connection is just as much part of the antenna as the whip element itself is. Clearly, an electrically quiet ground is needed for the active whip, whether this is provided by the coax feeder or a seperate local ground connection.
