So I undid the wire on the antenna and made an antenna using this link:

I modified my CM15 and hooked it all up.  Before I could barely get a remote or motion sensor to work on my porch....now they work all the way across the street in the neighbors yard!  I haven't tested the total boundary yet, but right now I'm getting easy 100+ feet more than I was before.  I'm giddy

Yes many have done the 'F' Connector mod with a well designed antenna and loved it.
Now as long as you are friends with the neighbors. You are all set. If not don't let them have an X10 RF remote.
