Could you explain why I need two pieces? Why can't I just have one 3 foot piece of wire? Two pieces will work better than one piece. One piece will work, just not as well. The explanation of why one doesn't work as well as two is complex. As others have stated, one piece of wire will work, and the length or orentiation may not be critical. 73 Gary N4AST The 'two piece' job can be a set of rabbit ears. One advantage is that it will be directional and may help if you have a ghosting problem. If the signal is sufficient, sometimes just a hunk of wire hanging off the back of the set will be enough. -- -------------------------------------- Diagnosed Type II Diabetes March 5 2001 Beating it with diet and exercise! 297/215/210 (to be revised lower) 58"/43"(!)/44" (already lower too!) -------------------------------------- Visit my HomePage at http://members.shaw.ca/finkirv/ Visit my very special website at http://members.shaw.ca/finkirv4/ Visit my CFSRS/CFIOG ONLINE OLDTIMERS website at http://members.shaw.ca/finkirv5/ -------------------- Irv Finkleman, Grampa/Ex-Navy/Old Fart/Ham Radio VE6BP Calgary, Alberta, Canada |
