Default PA0RDT-Mini-Whip {Active} Antenna - Inch-per-Inch - It Works !

I'll have to go back and read Guy's post. I think I was traveling with
limited access to email when it appeared.

Here's another interesting account of a DXpedition featuring this tiny
whip:

http://wireless.org.uk/loopy.htm

He doesn't discuss the whip in much detail. I provide the link above
primarily because it's an interesting read. But get this. The author
sets up a 350 ft. circumference loop and and a 120 ft. long inverted L
at a height of 65 ft. Big antennas by most people's standards. Then,
toward the end, he remarks:

"I also took the PA0RDT mini-whip with me and on a 20ft pole it was
easily as sensitive as the big aerials, slightly less noisy than the
Marconi but not as quiet as the loop."

All I can say is, there must be some special amplifier in this thing
because there's very little there to gather signal.
