[QUOTE="deeptho, post: 1151942, member: 215446"] Here are some pictures. The installation location is the attic above a dilapidated shed in which we keep some junk that might come in handy some time (or not), including a lot of metal wire. That could affect reception, but the location is a compromise: somewhat sheltered, easy to run a cable to and far enough from interference, still reachable by ladder and out of sight. The space is a bit cramped and so it was not even possible to find a location such that the big antenna would fit in the picture. What you see is therefore mainly the smaller one, attached on the vertical PVC tube with an mla-30- attached to it. In the background you can see the large one, which is the same shape but bigger. I had not noticed before, but the pipe for that one is actually slightly thinner (17mm diameter instead of 20mm; bigger may be better). In the mean time, I have removed the smaller antenna. The MLA-30 is half the price of the well-brook and is actually not too bad. Perhaps less sensitive on medium and long wave than the cross country wireless and perhaps a little less linear. Making a fair comparison (same channel on same antenna at almost the same time) would probably involve building an identical antenna, and adding an antenna switcher. Too much trouble.
