I couldn't do that Alan but if you read all the 'stuff' somewhere it says that height is not an issue with just the magnetic part. Certainly with the Wellbrook that is not too far off the ground, maybe 4ft and it works just fine. I have an issue with it that the gain seems down from when it was on a short coax but the signal is clean and a pleasure to listen to. I like the plays you get in the afternoon on R4 if I can tear myself away to listen.
The mag aerial is a revelation to me and the best improvement we can make to our old radio enjoyment. Seems odd that it took me so long to get there but aerials and propagation and such things I never got involved in not being a Ham (ham joint curry for dinner tonight Um!
).
Give it ago, even the 20 SWG wire was pretty astounding. Copper tube is cheap now at Screwfix; about a fiver for a 3m length. I didn't have any leaks from the plumbing either
