Re: LF: Active antennas on 136kHz, additional wire needed?

[Iban Cardona <icardona@gmail.com>]

Hi Chris,

I'm using the same mini-whip from thie ebay seller, with superb results in 136k and 477k without additional wire. In HF up to 20M works very well.

You can try to add, but if have somw MW trnsmitter near maybe will saturate the amplifier.

A friend bought me an active RX antenna, a PA0RDT clone, from Ebay:

as  a  gift for sorting a car problem. It's built and working, but the
build  notes  suggest  an  additional wire on the PCB that acts as the
aerial  may  be  needed. What are people's thoughts on adding say a 12
inch  wire  poking out the PVC tube that it will be mounted high up outside
in? Necessary or not? Just use the PCB board antenna? Thanks.
