Well I don’t live far from our local industrial area and there are plenty of hvac companies there. Ask and thou shall receive

BEHOLD!

Not to sure

you are welcome to look at mine.

You might find asking in the Loop Antennas group over at https://groups.io/g/loopantennas

So, some really un-scientific anecdotal evidence (listening and comparing RSSI / S-Meter levels on various stations, including UTC, 20Mtr HAM, various broadcast bands, its a tight race. The MLA 30 gives a few DB more signal, however I have the gain turned up on it. The Apex whip has an inline galvanic isolation transformer on it, and the noise floor between them both is almost indistinguishable.

I'm quite amazed at the apex 303, and the fact it is a short whip totally passive.

Time to get an antenna switch.

Im only using an cheap magnetic loop off Ali Express.

Its 6pm NZ time.

Loving the Kiwi :-)

I've been through a few iterations of Power Supplies, including what I thought was an adequate linear one, that ended up not firing up the Kiwi first time round (using the Kiwi supplied cable too!), and running hot, to settling on this:

It runs cool, and seems to meet the demands of the Kiwi with no start up issues at all. I've had it open and its well-made and very clean and uses high quality components.

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.
