Seems to be working, be nice for the next video to do a comparison with the endfed on a coax switch to see how the signals compares to each other. Believe the first CW station was I8GMG calling CQ DX. Well done and great job! 73 Jason
Hi DX Explorer -thanks for your Video - if possible try to get a very good GND direct at the Feedpoint of the Antenne and the Signals will blow you away....- The Key of good operating is enough height, out of any QRM done by TV, PC, LED Lamps etc. and a very good GND maybe with not less than 4mm2 of Wire direct to a good Earth at the Bottom of the Mast! - Dont ground the Coax on the Way to your house a second Time! . Heard many rare DX Stations with my Mini Whip on a 10 Meters tall PVC Mast connected to GND Wire, vy 55, 73 Heinz DE0RST
Ohhhh thank you so much. I very much appreciate the advice. I will do it this way on the final instalation once we finish building the radio room. I will still have to hide it in the attic, but with a good ground I have a feeling it will work way better than now. Even though I am happy even the way it works now. I was not expecting it to work so well. Luckily here on top of the mountains there is not much interference from anything as besides the lights and the phone chargers there is nothing else here. 73, YO6DXE
Hi friend, yes this could improve receipton very much. If you want to compare sigs you can listen to WEB SDR Station operating with Mini Whip. If you listen to the WEB SDR Radio from University in Twente (Netherlands). (Google) They are operating with Mini Whip as you surely know? Another way to get more gain of the Transistor could be to connect two of them in Parallel. That should increase the Signal Strength also.... vy 55, Heinz, DE0RST
@heinzriedl6868 Ohhhhh the trick with the tranzistor i didn't know. Is it the JFET or the NPN ? I guess the JFET since the NPN is there just to lower the impedance. And yes if course I know about the SDR in Holland. Is the one I use for most of my tests as reference 😁😁.
Its the JFET which could be parallel connected. If you have no success with that please send me a note and I will send you J310 for experiments 😀 @@dxexplorer
@heinzriedl6868 Thank you so much. Ohh I will order the transistors when I get home. I found a store that has them in stock still. I really appreciate the help. Time to experiment a little more when I get home hahaha. 73, YO6DXE. Bed time here as in the morning, back on roofing work to finish here 😅😅😅
Thanks so much. Amazing place indeed in here. I found a website that sells both transistors before I left home, so I will order a few once I get home. 73 buddy.
I am also curious. On the JFET I think it won't be such a difference as J310 can be replaced easily with other similar ones, but the NPN I have a feeling it will perform better because the antenna should resonate better on lower frequencies as well. We will see )))

Sounds good. Nice place though. 👍🏻
Have fun!
Also I might have a j310 I’ll look for it.
