That said, go in and get the following items:

278-1225 3 @ 60 foot spools stranded #20 hookup wire $4.99
270-375 4 @ screw terminal alligator clips
$3.29
total $8.28
+ tax

You now can make 3 antennas for less than the 1 you were going to
spend more $$ to get. Mark Holden gave a good explanation for
installing the alligator clip, it's so simple you'll finish in a
minute or two. Don't forget, when at RatShack don't tell them what
you're using the parts for as that's the opportunity for them to
dissuade you from your choice - just go in with the part numbers
written down and hold firm that "this is what I need." I assure you
that in the long run you'll be happier than spending a bit more money
for 1 @ 20 foot wire antenna. Besides, if you want to experiment with
location, you don't need to remove what you've already put up, just
grab one of the extras and have at it!


There you go Howard. *THAT* is how you answer a question in a post. Good job,
seriously. :-)
