Bonito Boni whip versus Wellbrook ALA1530: Test #5 winner: Wellbrook

Hi there, here is test number 5 and the first with a signal on shortwave  - Radio Habana, Cuba on 6060 kHz. I would describe the signal strength and audio fideltiy as about average with the Wellbrook ALA1530 active loop. However, switching over to the Bonito Boni whip results once again in a significant increase in the noise floor - just over 10 decibels this time, but that's still very significant and the resulting loss of signal modulation is clear to see and hear. I'm still hoping that a trip to the QRM free woods in Oxfordshire will result in a much reduced SNR performance delta between these two antennas. Thanks for watching.
