What's with that ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? and red mud in the tires stuff? There
isn't much in the way of red mud around here.But since I live here,I
guess I wouldn't know,eh? What state do you live in? I have probally

"Aint" nothing wrong with it either... It is still AMERICA

Has anyone ever posted a schematic of what they believe is the design of
the encapsulated amp' of the Wellbrook-330S?

You have very good advice re using a Wellbrook ALA 1530/330 as they are
inherently less noisy than wire antenna's.
If mounted high on a pole with a rotator you will get a vast improvement on
your present setup.
See PASSPORT for good reviews on the Wellbrooks
Also, you can read my own experiences with active antenna's at the link

Hiya...

Here is one I could use some help with.... As always, I'm always trying
to improve my sw listening capabilities. I have an R-75 and two very
good antennas on my roof. One is a G5RV and the other is a 200 foot
wire that utilizes a coax feed and matching transformer. Both are very
good antennas. I've thought about getting a new radio to improve my
capabilities and I've tried a few radios on loan from friends. Those
radios include the NRD-545, R8-A and R-5000. I've come to the painful
conclusion that the performance problem for me isn't my radio or my
antennas. Both are good. The problem for me is my area. I live in the
northern NJ suburbs and it is a very noisy area. I've read a bunch of
web pages on antennas, but I haven't really found any antenna solutions
that boast to be ideal solutions for noisy areas. I've got a fairly
good understanding about antennas, but I'm not advanced.

Does anyone have ANY ideas as to what would be an ideal antenna solution
that would offer me some improvement as far as increasing signal into my
radio and limiting noise ???

Money is no object, and neither is effort. I'll spend money on an "out
of the box" solution as well as put time into an elaborate home brew
project. Performance is key.

If it would help to know more about my current antennas, detailed info
about both of them is on my web page. The link is in my signature. Any
suggestions would be most welcome.


Before spending a dime, I would do my best to identify/locate the noise
sources -OR- identify a location that is least affected (as much as
possible) by the noise. That will lead you to the best site for your
antenna. It's possible that you may stumble across some way to deal with
the noise sources by possibly relocating/reconfiguring your existing
antennas

Then if the sources of the noise are beyond your control, and if doing
something with your existing antennas isn't feasible or won't help, I'd
start thinking about a loop on a rotor. Shielded loop, magnetic loop,
tuned
loop -- all are easy to home-brew. The rotor would be your biggest
expense,
but it could be one of the smaller/less expensive ones. As for the rest,
pvc pipe, fittings and wire are cheap. If it's going to be mounted
outside,
your loop options are many...

Good luck with whatever you decide and let us know the results.

Hiya... I dont think there is really any way to isolate what the noise
source is... I think there are too many of them.. Houses here are close
together and there are power lines all over the place. Noise could pop up
for any of a hundred sources. I'm going to try a Wellbrook 330S loop on a
rotator. I'll put a mast up on the roof and rig it all up in the spring.
It probably will help given that the Wellbrook 330S seems to be known as a
very good antenna for noisy areas. I think that may be my best option
other
then moving out of the area... I hear a lot of good things about Arizona
:-)

Thanx again !!!

Michael

Please don't forget to report your results after you do it! I have the
makings of a nice mast and rotator for the Wellbrook right here, and it
might solve my similar problems!

I'm not sending an email copy as requested. I post responses to the
news group. Change your defaults please.

This is not an advanced idea but a good one and as far as I know the
best solution. I don't think the rotor will be worth the time and money
though. Just point it for east - west reception and that will most
likely be the best you can do. The rotor will only let you select,
which of two competing stations you hear on a channel if in different
directions. I doubt you will use it to null a local noise source since
you should not picking them up in the first place.
