Default indoor listening antenna


Some tricks are tape to a #30 wire in the corner of the floor or the
ceiling...
Or you can form a horizontal loop -around the 4 walls of the room...
Run 300 ohm twin lead up to it and use a tuner..
You can form a vertical loop against one wall of the room by running
the wire around the corners...
Or run a wire under the rugs to the patio door... Screw the end of the
wire to the door frame.. Again, use a tuner on the wire.
Run a wire out a window or door and up a corner of the wall to the
gutter ( if metal) and scew into it... Again, use a tuner... If the
gutter is plastic, continue the wire along inside or behind the
gutter...
A wire out a window and up to a tree (as another mentioned)...
Put up a flag pole with a flag.. Pole is, of course, your vertical
antenna... Run a coax cable out to it..
Put a mobile antenna on your car... Run a coax from the radio to the
car... (remember to unhook before leaving
