Many amateurs in urban areas suffer high noise on reception. A well-located second antenna may help. This video shows my construction of the PA0RDT Mini Whip and demonstrates how moving it around can affect reception. Sometimes 'in the clear' is not the best spot and having it near the ground can be more effective on some signals. Search 'PA0RDT Mini Whip' for construction details as there are numerous published circuits and modifications.
