I have build  a very easy active antenna designed by PA0RDT.

I placed it into a little milk bottle on the top of a fiberglass mast about 8m above the ground.

Results are very surprising. The antenna gives excellent results between 9Kz and 3600Khz. (picture from internet)

Installation schema

 

 

DON'T FORGET :

1) This antenna MUST be installed on a non-metallic pole.

2) To be efficient the antenna must be installed at least 35-45 foot high (12m -15m)

3) The antenna must be kept away around 70 feet (20-25m) of surrounding  buildings, it doesn't works inside buildings.

4) The shield of the coaxial cable will be grounded with a earth stack at the bottom of the pole.
