If you want that you can look at the Waller versions which stack two antennas. N4IS is the guru. But everyone is describing a very small version of the terminated loops here. 2 by 2 meters is crazy s

Agreed fully. But the very low output antennas usually go hand in hand with small suburban or non rural environs and thus very noisy. To achieve a useful sn ratio with all the noise and low output is

Corona noise is near impossible to null even from a single source I've found. Fortunately my offender is spark gap noise causing a specific multi point waveform signature. As I understand it however

I'm not sure this would be useful as it seems not to be very directionally sharp. The ultrasonic device would be the last step in positively identifying the source of the arcing so it necessarily mea
