Hi Clemens, LS
Hah.. another can of worms opened... thanks Stefan :-) !!
So it seems that ferrite indeed may work. Probably not as good as any other
alternative but who knows, at least it may lead to another interesting
experiment.
And that is what I like.
@Stefan: I already knew of the ferrite that you can buy at the webshop of
Funkamateur. Expensive though, a 60-rod sleeve antenna will set you back EUR
360 !!

Minto,
as to DCF77:
my radio controlled Citizen wrist watch receives DCF77 extremely reliably
every night with its built in ~2cm ferrite rod antenna.
Even presently here at the Cote d'Azur field strength is indicated as "high"
(the watch indicates three grades:high,medium,low).
I find this amazing.

I haven’t thought about ferrite RX antenna for LF….My guess is that it is
not going to work – not without an external antenna coupled to the ferrite,
and then what’s the point?
DCF77 clocks often have trouble locking indoors or in the neighborhood of
‘QRM’ generators like PC’s, and look what power DCF77 is using…
I could be entirely wrong of course…

BTW what do you think about a ferrite RX antenna for LF? Now i'm opening an
older discussion i expect ;-)
