Default Re: ATU vs. Preamp vs. Active Antenna

On 11810 kHz, I was able to receive the BBC via Woofferton OK, but at 2200 GMT, the KBS was totally silent, or just the band noise only.

I went to an SDR site on the Internet, which is located somewhere in England. The SDR site is running a Kiwi SDR and Wellbrook Mag Loop, and it is receiving it OK on 11810 kHz KBS in English service, albeit very quiet about S2-3. But it was listenable.

But sometimes, the SDR site cannot hear what I could hear on my Long Wire and PalStar AA-30 amp. So, I was wondering if it is the path of the signal or propagation rather than the equipment. But I am not sure.
