Hello Stefan,

Thank you for your detailed description.
I have carried out the same tests some five years ago and arrived also at a length of 30 cm. The wire can be replaced by a 30 x 40 mm piece of copper clad PCB for the same results. Using SMD parts, which have less capacitive coupling due to the small size, a further size reduction is possible.

Your findings that raising the antenna higher than 4 m is correct as the signal to noise ratio will not improve, so nothing will be gained. However, this depends on the surroundings. At the border of a lake, I found an height of 2 m sufficient for weak signal work at LF.

Best regards,
Roelof Bakker, pa0rdt
