Hello Brian,
I thought about your situation and have a very inexpensive solution. Get yourself a SO239 chassis connector, 14 gage wire (50') and soldering gun. In the center solder a 102" length for the vertical element. On each of the 4 corners, solder a 104" groundplane wire. Attatch your coax to the SO239 and use a nail to support the top of the antenna at the peak of the inside of your crawl space. Allow your gound plane to droop down up to a 45 degree angle. Trim for SWR. The ground planes will help decouple the RF from getting into the house. This is not the perfect solution, but it is cheaper than buying a commercial antenna. I found this quick reference for a guide... http://home.att.net/~wizardoz/cbmw/antenna_fabri.html Hope this helps... 73 Dungeon Master |
