Default New antenna installation.



Dealing with noise at my current location has been a royal
PITA. Electrical noises, computer monitors, environmentals have
been increasing in amplitude for the last several years. My dipoles,
random wires (even with transformers), even my rhombic, have been
awash with more noise than signal a few megahertz either side of 11
mhz, and decent DXing has been more or less non existent.

SoooOOOOOOoooo, before I make the investment in something like
a Wellbrook active loop, I've been experimenting in magnetic
transfer after MLB and MTA by RF Systems.

At first blush, with first draft of a homemade MTA, I"ve noted
dramatic noise attenuation 9db, with a signal loss of around 3db on
most signals, which my receivers can more than compensate for.

As the antenna goes through further revisions and as details
become more conclusive, I'll pass along some of my results.

Currently, though, this antenna seems to be an effective solution.

Developing....
