Review on 📻 MLA-30 Loop Antenna: Rainproof Active Receiving Antenna for Short Wave Radio 100kHz - 30MHz by Shane Jenkins

This is a "cheap Chinese" type of magnetic loop antenna, but that doesn't mean you should automatically go to the next step, in which case you'll probably be spending up to a few hundred Dollar. The main advantages of a magnetic loop are that it can receive weaker signals with less noise than a random wire, and you can cancel out noise sources (e.g. a local AM station). Money. That's decent for shortwave listening, but seems to work worse the higher you crank the frequency. I was very lucky with this antenna for evening and night listening at 25m and below. I've had no luck with long waves but I've never been where I am. greatly improving reception and noise rejection on the shortwave and lower amateur bands. I've kept the standard RG174 coax, but at some point I may upgrade that as well. They should just put a plug in the preamp box so people can use a different type of coax cable if they want. I have no complaints about the T-bias that comes with this antenna. One thing you should know if you are considering buying this antenna is that it requires some sort of assembly as the item is a flexible wire so if left unattached it will do the trick. to something. PVC is probably the strongest, but you can just screw (or tie) the preamp to a piece of wood, by attaching the top of the loop about 25 inches above. greatly improving reception and noise rejection on the shortwave and lower amateur bands.

One thing, What you should know if you are considering buying this antenna is that it requires some sort of assembly as the item is a flexible wire so it does the job. unless it depends on something. PVC is probably the strongest, but you can easily screw (or tie) the preamp to a piece of wood by attaching the top of the loop about 25 inches above it. One thing to know if you are considering buying this antenna is that it requires some form of assembly as the item is a flexible wire which will do the trick when not attached to anything .
