Greetings RHF& All!
I appreciate the posts and ideas here. I have a 102" whip out in my
building that I have been trying to figure out what to do with it. I
can't afford the MFJ-1024 or anything like it. I have the Radio Shack
amplified indoor active antenna. Would it be worth my while to place
the 102" whip on top of the rail as you suggest and use the ground and
run my coax into the Radio Shack indoor amplified antenna? Would this
perform any better than say a long wire antenna or a loop connected to
my active antenna indoors?
I can see that the active antennas you linked to were of much better
quality and features than the RS antenna. Tell me what you think.
Thanks ahead of time! Jon in South Carolina.

Two comkpanies offer active antenna kits worthy of 'sperimentin with.
Each is in the $10 range: Ramsey and tentec
