Default Wellbrook Antenna/ Suggestions?

wrote:
Before you mount the antenna indoors, I suggest that you at least try
it outdoors, if possible.


ALA100 mounted a foot away from my residence: good performance
ALA100 mounted within the residence: fair performance
ALA100 mounted 10+ feet from residence: brilliant performance

Golden rule: The further away you are from general unidirectional
noise sources, the better off you are.

It is quite freaky having two receivers running on the
same frequency (60 meters for instance)
Receiver one is plugged into Wellbrook
Receiver two is plugged into passive whip antenna

receiver one 'hears' no lightning static crashes
receiver two picks up LOTS of lightning static crashes

That alone makes the Wellbrook worth its weight in gold.
