LF and MW reception in an urban back garden

Posted on Monday, January 16th, 2017 by M0TAZ

Seems impossible, receiving signals on LF or MF with a small antenna. Results may surprise you, and the M1GEO Wellgood loop* may be just the ticket.

Review the various options, and listen to the difference a loop can make to reception in the YouTube clip. Ive been trying to receive WSPR on 472 KHz recently, and the results are included in this article.
