@f14g2000cwb.googlegroups.com: I have an outdoor wire antenna, about 75 feet in length, connected to one radio. The other radio is used with a strictly indoor antenna. This consists of an 18 guage insulated wire (the wire is available in white from Radio Shack)that goes once around the room at ceiling height. We live in a wood frame house and the indoor antenna is on the second floor. Surprisingly, the reception is quite good, I am usually able to receive most broadcasts on either radio. I guess the condo situation modifies your situation somewhat. If the building is substantial (concrete and steel), access to the window/windows is your best bet. Try to avoid running wire antennas close to other metal, such as suspended ceilings or metal frame windows. I really like the FGR-100B, have fun with it. Soliloquy Hello friends I'm in a condo. I just received a fantastic receiver (FRG100B)..I'm currently running a homebrew "Heli-Rope" Antenna (from June 1971 QST) hanging on the wall. Just out of pure curiousity, have any one of you run indoor antennas? What kind? How did yours work? Thanks 73 Greg WDX9KHY |

I used to have an outdoor longwire about same length as yours - until an ice storm. Reality is that the Slinky antenna indoors works just as well - and is a Slinky endloading about 22' of wire. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BDissident news - plus immigration, gun rights, weather, Internet Gun Show IA HREF="http://www.alamanceind.com"ALAMANCE INDEPENDENT: official newspaper of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy/A/b/i |
