In reply to our post about the\u00a0Bonito MegaDipole MD300DX wideband active dipole antenna<\/a>, SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Mark, comments:<\/p>\n

Dennis from Bonito kindly sent me a sample megadipol and I\u2019m truly impressed with it. The SNR is amazing right through the shortwave spectrum and really helps pull out weak signals.<\/p>\n

I was particularly impressed to be able to pick up World Music radio on 5840 kHz all the way here in Ireland with just 100 watts in the evenings.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also quite excellent on LW\/MW.<\/p>\n

See for yourself on my KiwiSRR just check out the SNR !!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks, Mark, for hooking the MegaDipole up to your live KiwiSDR!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
