[QUOTE="bombuzal, post: 196391, member: 194689"] Hehehe, yeah it was getting a bit off-topic >:) Yeah, you could use that cable - the core should point north :) Or you could also have a horizontal dipole (which I used once) - Have the cable going up, then splitting; having them going horizontally) Depending on how many people still use them near you, inside should be *ok*.. just not great - My first decent, mobile antenna was a FireStik (huge things, coil wound all the way up) - Though because I didn't have a Lorry (which they were designed for) or a car (which I couldn't use it on anyway without getting told off by the polis ;p), I had it using a biscuit tin as a ground plane lol :) Yeah, alot of people throw out decent equipment :(( Handy for us though, since people who own scrappies and tips usually take stuff before they get covered in crap, and sell them at markets ;) (alot of my non-x86 hardware and Radio equipment is from markets/bootsales lol) [/QUOTE]
