Confession time!!!!
I was able to snatch about 40 minutes this afternoon. I connected the LNA to the Hedghog and fed its output on channel 9 to a 10 Element Wideband, Band 3 aerial vertically polarised at about 5 feet high from the ground outside of the shed.
I took the best Sony 9-90 into the kitchen which is about 10 meters from the aerial, the result was very strong indeed with no noise, moving the rod resulted in overloading. I then asked my neighbour across the road if I could test it in her home, 30 meters from the aerial and in the correct direction, still superb pictures and sound.
I then had to pop out for Anne who is still in bed unwell. I took the set and at the Tesco Car park there was still noise free reception, its about 800 meters from home as the crow or RF flies!! I then drove up to a car park right at the the top of the town which is 1.2 miles away so a direct mile I'd say, the picture was still good with just a hint of noise, this was using the Sony rod aerial and inside the car!
I drove home and pulled the plug. Just shows what 10 Milli Watts and a directional aerial can do, it just make me wonder how far it may have gone??
Thank you father for hearing my confession. I promise I wont do it again.... honest.
