president lincoln antenna

[slimfb]

hi all

i have a lincoln that i want to use at home.......prob too good for the truck

i am about a meter above sea level...on flat land....on an estate....in a house with a loft

without going to extremes but bearing in mind i have a lincoln & would like to make good use of it, what initial antenna setup would you guys advise..........i am a newbie

thanks in advance

[slimfb]

just to try out the lincoln
i am upstairs in a small room with radiator, ( 1 meter above sea level near peterborough) could i 'stick' a mag springer on & use the rad as a ground plain, then use the lincoln ........... would that work ok ? i need a springer for my truck anyway
cheers guys

yes should be fine for a little while, but you need is a outdoor antenna realy

[slimfb]

ok thanks, i'll start my homework

[porky.69]

the springer antennas are not much kop for in door use

[slimfb]

think i'm going to need planning permission to stick one on the house & got the neighbors from hell

[slimfb]

is there a maximum length for the coax ?

[stampman]

no maximum length you could try a wilson 1000 antenna not cheap but would do aa Stirling job

i might just bite the bullet & put a sirio gm on the side of the house.......at the roof apex, so high up.......hope nobody complains [-o<

[stampman]

will be a seven day wonder then no one will bother
