Rob, Radio Shack and others have some very good quality compact TV antennas that will fit the bill. They have one that looks like rabbit ears on a Vicks cough drop for indoor use. There are out door versions also that you could use that provide some gain also. 73 de Scott KD5FBA Scott Medbury ARRL AMSAT #33657 B-VARC (Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club) 10-10 International #77047 Scott Medbury 16802 Aprilmont Drive Sugar Land, TX 77498-1941 USA From: BVARC [mailto:bvarc-boun...@bvarc.org] On Behalf Of McClure, Rob K via BVARC Sent: Friday, October 03, 2014 5:20 PM To: BVARC (bvarc@bvarc.org) Subject: [BVARC] Recommendation for TV antenna?
