Building the final version of my mini whip antenna designed by PZ0RDT for 10kHz to 30MHz. Perfect for LW, MW and SW listening. Slightly improved for VLF-HF.

I would recommend to use the values and the components used in the original schematic. What I did in my built was to improvise and use whatever I had available. One correction just in case you will also use tantal capacitos as I did... C3 has to be installed the other way around not as I presented it in the video. So the positive of the capacitor goes in the 12v input / RF out side not the transistor side.

NOTE:
I’m not an engineer and I’ve never studied electronics. I build equipment for fun as a way to relax, enjoying the amateur radio hobby. All videos and projects are built with the limited knowledge I had at the time I recorded each video. As time goes by, I hope to also improve all the projects. Some may be updated and I publish new videos on the same project. Always check for the latest versions.
