Good pick, even if I'm not a huge fan of wideband active loops, now if you want to let it work as it should, try putting it outside; a yard, a balcony or if possible the roof will be good spots,...

Here's an antenna for the apartment dwellers, all one needs to install it is a balcony, the antenna is shown here https://i.postimg.cc/sXX3rnwT/balcloop.png as you can see it's a loop, the antenna is made using thin insulated wire (1.5mm / AWG #14), at the center of the bottom side there's a small w...

You're welcome

If you can and want, please come back with some feedback after you'll have tested the SULA for a bit, it will be welcome and useful !
