    Hi, I had a long wire running to a tree at the end of the garden 110 feet away, it was okay-ish but didn’t provide the amazing results I expected.
    Last week I invested in a MLA 30 + active loop antenna for £35.00, the results are stunning by comparison. Much lower noise and dozens more signals.
    It works up to 30Mhz faultlessly.
    I’m now waiting on a desktop antenna and rf amp to cover 25Mhz up to 2Ghz.
