Title: passive antenna - wow!
Post by: pconroy on April 10, 2010, 09:45:42 AM

A simple piece of coat hanger wire, cut and straightened to 18 1/4" and just jammed next to the MS16A - and voila! It goes from marginal performance to -- fine!  I'm getting all the signals now!.

Way cool guys!
Thanks for the link!

Amazing what a short piece of wire can do.  :)%
