Re: Urban HF Antenna Dilemma: LZ1AQ vs. M0AYF


 

If you are mounting it vertically, height doesn't matter too much, and I wouldn't bother going higher than about 2m AGL.

The advantage of small antennas, is that you can often place then in electrically quiet locations, that would not be possible with much larger ones.
?
For reception purposes, it is the Signal to Nose Ratio that is important, and not the overall signal strength.

So far, the best location is slightly above ground in my backyard/garden with a bit worse SNR than my full sized dipoles. Perhaps, it's not a matter of height, but proximity to AC aerial distribution intead ?
