🤫Stealth "Mini-Whip" IW4BLG: Total Silence and VLF/LF Power 🤫
Are you looking to push the limits of DX listening to lower frequencies? The STEALTH Mini-Whip is the antenna for you! Based on IW4BLG's original design, this Mini-Whip has been engineered to offer extreme performance, surpassing the efficiency of the historic Pa0RDT design, especially at low frequencies (VLF/LF).
🎯 Designed for VLF (3 KHz - 30 MHz)
This is not a generic Mini-Whip. Its circuit characteristics make it particularly suitable and powerful for VLF (3-30 KHz) listening. If long-wave signals, NDB beacons, or very low-frequency communications are your passion, this is your secret weapon.
Unique Spectrum Coverage: Reception from 3 KHz to 30 MHz.

?? Placement Makes all the Difference (DX Listening)
Like any electric field antenna, the quietness of the installation site is vital to achieve the maximum Signal/Noise ratio:
| Recommended Height | Installation Details | Advantage |
| Minimum 4 meters | Away from metallic objects and masonry. | Drastically reduce domestic electrical noise. |
| Maximum Efficiency | Ideally 15 meters high. | Captures the purest VLF/HF signal for extreme DX. |
?? IMPORTANT: Technical Disclaimer (For Trouble-Free Listening)
REMEMBER: The Mini-Whip is an extremely sensitive electric field antenna. Due to the nature of its high-impedance design, it can be susceptible to overloading if positioned near powerful transmitters (e.g., FM or broadcast stations) or strong local noise sources.
Installation in an open field and at height is the only way to ensure excellent reception and prevent signal distortion.
