New Antenna Worth Trying ?

Sure, I did the same thing once. Except I'm 55-65 miles from the gulf, instead of 20.. I built a 4 el yagi for 162 mhz. Worked great, and I could hear boats that didn't exist on the omni vertical. MK I used to pick up tons of stuff about 20 miles away with just a vertical antenna at about 50 ft. My experience with VHF/UHF in the attic has not been good. I think asphalt shingles are pretty good RF absorbers at that frequency. Jimmie |
