Default Ropex Active Antenna

Here is an active HF antenna that came without a power supply. The text printed on it says both shortwave and from 20 kHz to 160 MHz, which seems quite impressive. However, I have only tested it for MW and SW listening, using a homebuilt 12V power supply. Does anyone have experience of using this antenna and maybe a power supply to share a picture of ? It would be nice to know a little more about this antenna. It does seem quite sensitive, but background electrical noise is marring reception at times, even when mounted outdoors.
