MegaDipol MD300DX
Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2018 11:25 pm
I have been using my Wellbrook Loop ALA1530S+ for many years now for HF reception (mainly HFDL and GMDSS utilities). It was quite successful, however I have recently had the chance to use the MegaDipol MD300DX antenna from Bonito - https://www.bonito.net/hamradio/en/mega ... ve-dipole/ and it has been great.
I have mounted it by suspending from the top of a 7m fibreglass pole, and connected it to the RX with 30m of RG6 coax. So far I am receiving up to 3000 HFDL messages in a 12 hour period, far exceeding the Wellbrook in the same period. I use it with my RSP2 and SDRUno with 5 VRX feeding 5 copies of PC-HFDL via Virtual Audio Cable
So far this is looking like becoming my HF antenna of choice for a small suburban block.
