Reply #11: The RCA 12 position antenna is good, but you can make a Dipole `

for next to nothing.




I made a folded Dipole 82 inches wide. I went to Radio Shack and bought a Balun for a couple dollars. That made attaching the coxial cable to the antenna simple. I used a piece of bamboo, phone line, and duct tape to make the antenna. Phone line has four lines, I used two, and folded the unused out of the way.
I attached the balun to the phone wire using alligator clips. It works well.
