My AMRAD active ant is mounted on the same pole that you can see on the
Web site - showing the loop. The 12 ft loop was removed and the active ante
replaced the loop. So it sure is under a full umbrella of trees.
Works fine - but find the frequency response not as desired.....
Fantastic from 400 kHz up through 15 MHz..... but drops off rapidly below
400 iHz.
