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. Steve |
