So after having an interest in Radio for most of my adult life, I have finally got the study guide and doing a cram course with the local NZART club here in Napier and our local colledge (EIT)

If anyone has any good online references, that would be appreciated. I think I have a decent amount of inherent knowledge, however there is still some to learn. (like the rules and regulations).

We run a WISP network here and use CGNAT - however if a customer wishes to run any services, we add $10/mth to their bill and give them a static IPv4 address

It wasnt Minecraft servers that was the issue - it was the warez servers we stood up ;-)

Found one in the public Kiwi list here

My filter arrived today, and I must say it is better than the Noolec MW filter. I put it before the LNA, as this works the best.

The MW stations are still there, unlike the Noolec filter would kill everything from the VLF up to 1.8mhz bascially.

You might be better off adding the rule manually on your router.

Based on some tests = attenuators before the LNA is better - otherwise I end up with lots of AM broadcast up in the 80m band!!

I've recently seen a number of these from Germany.

My Antenna arrived, had to use world shipping, which wasnt cheap. sigh.

Anyway, it's a beautifully crafted antenna. Need to figure out where I will mount.

I'm based in sunny Napier, Hawke's Bay, NZ.

I use my Kiwi to indulge my SWL / DX hobby. Nothing too serious.

I work in IT and have had a long interest in electronics and radio - which makes me sound like a complete nerd :-D

On the flip side, I have a youngish family (even though I am now 52 - I started late) and still listen to grunge.

Hi All,

I am considering my antenna options. While my cheap magnetic loop does a good job, there are many signals such as DRM that need a bit more gain - otherwise they simply don't work.

This seems quite reasonable for the price, an end fed long wire with a 1:49 balun. And covers 1-30Mhz.

What other considerations should I be thinking about before leaping? Attenuators, Filters, other options.

I have a reasonable size section (good old kiwi 1/4 acre). I also have access to a good sturdy pole, as we are a WISP here in the Hawkes Bay, and have some nice poles that can be mounted on a pad.

Anyway, looking for a little guidance to an age-old question. However, it does help when there is so much information and advice on the internet but no real clarity on what to use.
