So, after vetting 24 hours of the reduced helicone with 5.2 turn RHCP 2250 helical, with 1400 MHz HPF and some 20 dB gain I found the results a bit better but still weak compared to the gain I noticed with the 1700 MHz helicone reflector and 1545 and 1700 MHz observations. So, this morning I decided to cut the 2250 Helical, back to a bit more as 2 turns. Left the filter and preamp and I notce the signals have increased in strenght and duration since this morning. Difficult to compare with other stations because of the pass elevation but for example LKW3 showed stronger as other helical stations in EU, and so did 31304 Aim this afternoon.
