Hi Andrew my mast is in two sections short bit for indoors about 1m and balance 2m extension used outdoors..
Hope that makes it clearer.

That is the same as I made my one

Yep got a copy but does not specify 3m to bottom corner of triangle for height.

Noted on the correct mast height specs ie 3m to bottom corner of antenna.
I will make up a mast extension and repeat the SW test . SULA vs JHG mag loop.
Busy with some work at the moment and WX raining. Thanks for your input Andrew.

Hi Andrew I have tested the SULA vs MLA-30 and JHG amp mag loop. On SW the SULA is the best performer. On MW tested the SULA vs JHG amp mag loop The JHG loop is the best performer the SULA preamp is much noiser All tests done indoors. I would still like to repeat the SW tests outdoors ie SULA vs MLA...

Only indoor testing at the moment till preamp in an enclosure
Had a quick tune on 31meter band and picking up lots of stations with good signals .
Will try MW later tonight using battery power for my internet modem at the moment

I have received the preamp will see if I can hook up the bare circuit board tonight in place of the MLA-30 amp.

I will be trying the local one from Giga Tech as I will be using the SULA on SW.
My JHG amplified mag loop is very good on MW. The amp is similar to a UK design ( ALA1530)

New preamp is on its way to me so will report back on performance early next week
when fitted to the SULA antenna in place of the MLA-30 amp.

Thanks Andrew I have my own Amplified Magnetic Loop which works very well on MW and its powered by a 12v battery so I can use it to power the SULA preamp
