Hello Dimitris!
A lot of interesting info about ferrite rod ants and results, but on Russian
language:
http://136.su/index.php/topic,119.0.html
Use translator babelfish or other and use links and schematics.
At once - UA3AGC from Minussinsk, East Siberia NO66, nr Krasnoyarsk was
received in DM4TR location JO61de - QRB ~5000 km! - and VO1NA also too!
UA3AGC DE DM4TR

http://136.su/index.php/topic,119.msg7099.html#msg7099
VO1NA DE DM4TR
http://136.su/index.php/topic,119.msg13881.html#msg13881
The ferrite rod ant was used on DM4TR grabber in great QRM from local MW
broadcast situated in near QTH - ~ 900m!
The great RX reports was in that situation!
The other great forum topic and results will be interesting for you on the
other russian forum:
