In Reply to: Antenna options, opinions? posted by Stang on January 22, 2001 at 23:11:08:
: Living in the foothills of snohomish co, reception is often hampered. Looking for a good antenna or something to boost signal reception. I can barely hear the 'notice to airmen' from BFI, let alone the tower. What kind of options are there (not too familiar with setups, so any help is appreciated)
: Thanks!
The best tips anyone can give you is simple, yet may take some time to do.
You need to get your antanna up high * roof top** or if you like to climb trees, put one in a tree high up.
Someomne told me to use a cell phone antanna, that may be good idea also.
Living way out does make it hard to hear, and at times even your locall police.
Try first to get your antanna as high as you can. If you are in an apartment, then put it high, and near a window.
best of luck
