Save your money and if you have space put up 30ft of light wire, put an earth rod down and run another light wire from it to the outer braid of coax cable and the long wire to the centre braid and connect it to your radio. It works brilliant Kinloss in here loud and clear as are all of Shanwick freqs. I bought an active antenna and it was ok but brought a lot of noise to the radio.
