The 32 segments twig is not working as well as I hoped.

Perhaps because it's Sunday, there is next to nothing out there, or I have decreased my range, only time will tell.

Your mlat coverage looks much better now, since your little tweek to your twig :)

Did you check the continuity through the twig with a multimeter as you built it? If not you may have a duff connection somewhere.

The bloody antenna has sagged over to 45 degrees again. I shall be replacing the plumbing pipe with 6 foot of stiffer plastic electrical conduit this weekend - the plumbing pipe will never survive the winter storms up here once it gets a bit of ice on the plastic :D

Range has dropped right off to about 40 miles again :(

Have you considered using some Wooden dowl to zip the aerial to before putting it in to the conduit?

2m of conduit in b&q was less then £2, and so far it's stood up to the wind and rain.

1090 uputronics amplifier arrived - now I need to order the correct selection of interconnects.....

Over the xmas holiday I'll be seeing about getting the antenna up properly & moving the dongle & amp to the far end of an active usb extension..
