PAORDT. Opinions ? And, Any Suggestions for Indoor Ant. ?

[BOBRR]

Hello,

Do listening only. Below 30 MHz.

a. Would be very interested in other folks opinions, and experience with the PAORDT ant. ?

b. Any suggestions for an indoor antenna other than a Loop ?
(don't want a loop due to the need to (almost continuously) re-orient it.)

Regards,
Bob

I will not suggest anything indoor as that is a compromise with indoor reception with electrical noise coming from multiple direction. A PA0RDT (note is a "0" not "O") is a good antenna outside and in the clear. Best one I have seen of these is

For PA0RDT Miniwhip Active Antenna VLF LF HF VHF Miniwhip Antenna Shortwave SDR RX Assembled. This new version of MiniWhip Antenna has these features - 1 x Set of Miniwhip Antenna. Each antenna performs as good as its installation permits it to.

Some other small cheaper active HF antennas I have tried have been poor performers or poor physically (internally fell apart in shipment).
