Gerbold just posted that ferrite rod antennas are not as good as wire loops. Believe him! Smile

That's why I decided to use wire loops, even though a support frame is needed, and they take up more space. Been using them for years.

I wouldn't be that strict. I made a statistics about stations using different types of antennas and calculated a ratio between number of strokes detected by stations with a certain antenna type devided by number stations using this antenna type. In this statistics loops apear a bit better than ferrite rods. https://forum.blitzortung.org/showthread...statistics
Another statistics shows that in far distance ferrite rods detect some signals more than loops. https://forum.blitzortung.org/showthread...ht=artwork
Stations: 2065, 2398, 2729, 3058
