That's a bit difficult Al and SWMBO doesn't want any more wire going down the garden or around the house. I have a long wire for the downstairs dinning room radio and one for the front lounge radio but the Den is upstairs. Best way here would be a loft aerial but then access to the room is tricky with a fully boarded loft.
All my long wires have been good at picking up interference as well as signal, probably mains borne etc. If the claims for the Mag aerial are true then it does sound attractive for this application.
The model ALA1530 seems the one to go for but it reads as active and with some of the radios I would use it with (all tuned RF stage) I don't need anymore gain. Odd as the comparison chart says it is passive.
Advantage over a tuned wire loop is getting rid of the EM wave and it being broadband so no need to tune it for each station received.
