A DDRR was too comlicated and in most not necessary. Also simplicity is a key to Jupiter radio.
Yes I would agree the signal level maybe a bit low compared to a dipole but am going to test it soon to determine roughly how low it is.
I am considering an antenna amplifier, may consider building one myself but need to determine how much gain will be too much. I suspect a maximum of 20db should be OK before too much noise is produced.
I quite possibly will make it a masthead amplifier not receiver amplifier. This should hopefully reduce the chance of noise increase.
