Hi.
I potted the box yesterday and left it overnight to cure.
This afternoon I have mounted the complete aerial on the pole, added a support rod (advised if using the loop outside) and gave it a good test.
Performance is now the best I have had since purchase. I did consider buying a replacement amplifier from Wellbrook but I really couldn't justify the £90 cost.
I gave the loop a good test this afternoon. Medium wave was the best its been, I suffer severe QRM here with any other aerial, It's been some time since I have been able to hear Manx radio on 1368, Tay FM 1354, Radio Ulster from Londonderry 792, amongst others.
Long wave was lively too, with my home made three valve short superhet doing very well indeed.
I'll post a picture of the final installation tomorrow when its light!
