I think you would loose about 99% of your signal, @ 800MHz, though 100'

of

9913.

Say WHAT??

9913 has less than 4db loss at 800mhz.

That means less than 60% loss, NOT 99%!


While you loose about 60% of the signal, you gain much more than that by
getting an antenna outside and up in the air. The 4 db is not relally as
much as it seems . It just looks like a big loss on paper. Take a
flashlight and point it at a wall at one step back, then take another step
back and see how little the light on the wall changes. This is about 3db of
differance. Take another step back and this will be somewhere between 4 and
5 db, not 6.

Doubling the distance will cause another 3dB of loss every time you
double(!) Very simple. A loss of 6dB will show one S-unit less on the
signal meter. And running 100' of RG213,AirComm+ and lowloss
TV-cable(75Ohm) to my antennas in the attic 6th floor is a GREAT
improvement in comparison to the same antennas 10' over ground in my 1st
floor appartment with less than 15' of cable to put the antenna outside
on the balcony.
