For Robby: Here is the link to my telescopic antenna, I found the old card that came with it. https://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103159&filterName=Brand&filterValue=RadioShack Obviously, try not to buy it from Radio Shack if you can help it.
Also, if you were interested, the link for the SDR receiver you saw me using is below. http://www.nooelec.com/store/sdr/sdr-receivers/tv28tv2-sdr-dvb-t-usb-stick-set.html#.U4Ww8PldV1a It's made by the same company that makes the Ham It Up Upconverter that goes with the HackRF everybody is talking about. I couldn't recall at the time, but the frequency range is 25MHZ to 1750MHZ. There is also an excellent array of software out there for it. It is just one of the many r820t tuners that have flooded the market.
