Hello
Stefan,Roelof,
for
about 4 years now I am using an active whip with good results.The antenna is
placed on a shed about 10 m from the house.I varied the height between 2 m and 9
m.With a height of 2 m(the roof) I had alot of qrm and a low output,raising it
to 5m or higher improved things a lot.Less qrm and higher output,to prevent im i
decreased the size of the whip from 1m to 60 cm.At a height of 7m this gives the
besr results.no detectable im from local mw stations and a good S/N ratio of
weak signals.As an experiment I replaced the steel pole for a glassfibre
one,this didn't change any thing.This could be espected because of the coax
cable you are always at the same potential as with a steel pole.Ofcourse
using a battery and a glassfibre changes things but for me this is not very
practical because my whip draws 120mA @ 28V.
Hope
to hear more from your experiments,
73
