In this video I will be showing the diy copper tube loop active loop antenna final test build and roof mounting setup. The antenna is oriented pointing North to South at a height of 30+ feet temporary mounted on an umbrella stand. Once completed with testing, I will weather proof all connections and the copper tubing. So far the antenna has performed very well on shortwave with the LNA, on mediumwave it is good so far. I can also receive FM broadcast, Aviation band and even UHF signals, for example NYC police and fire frequencies. Also will be getting rid of the cheap RG-8X coax cable and replace it with LMR 240 coax cable. So far the DIY Copper Tube Active Loop Antenna is performing quite well. I do have a playlist to prove that the antenna does work. More testing to follow.

Brief Demonstration of new niliBOX software for the RTL-SDR V.3 SDR USB Dongle
niliBOX developed a software for various models of computer controlled radios and also for the RTL-SDR software defined radio. I will demonstrate this by running the software while tuning the mediumwave stations. The antenna I'm using is the MLA-30 active loop antenna. This is their first initial release of this software. I will make a series of videos showing this program working. Stay Tuned. This is Version 1.0.0
