Newbie Question - I need something between 18" and a tower
 

No, it's not one of _those_ spams. I just installed a PCS FM
transmitter card http://www.pcs-electronics.com/en/pr...rans#Pci%20max
without the 5 amp booster. My goal is to have a clean signal
throughout the large (7500 sq ft, 4 levels) house I live in. Using the
18" piece of wire PCS provided a get a low level signal but I have to
to boost it so much it gets noisy. I have tried a software
limiter/filter (MLB4) and it helps a little but not enough.

Is there a better antenna I can rig up without a lot of
expense/difficulty.

Thanks
Bill

Radiax might do the job for you.

I second what Dave has said. I have designed systems using Radiax to
provide coverage in confined areas. It does about what Andrew says it
does. 73 Mac N8TT

I don't have an answer for you right offhand, but thanks for the lead on
the PCI MAX ULTRA card. Looks like an interesting little gadget. I
could use that this holiday season for piping Christmas music around the
house....
