A bundle of clip leads would work better for the same price.


In Theory,

you can take one,

http://www.hamradiofun.com/tinytenna.htm

put it in a shielded enclosure,attacha co-ax lead in to it

attacha 30 foot random wire to teh co-ax

- and, by setting your receiver to an empty frequency

totally overload the front end of a cheap receiver;

- giving you a wide range of signals . . .Airplanes, Gypsy Cabs,
Police ( etc)

If the Folks up at Ruby Ride had this set up

then might be alive today . .
