Deciding on antenna location, inside or out?

[viking396]

There are vent pipe mounts available. Here's one I found with a quick Google search: http://www.summitsource.com/product_info.php?ref=1&products_id=5590
Find an local TV store, there still are some and tell them you want these and 5 or 10 foot mast and that's the start of a good antenna structure. And don't do it alone, and stay away from electrical wires. And it can be fun building antennas on your own, but it's better with a friend.

Thanks for the link! Our local TV store is called Home Depot, Menards, Lowes, Best buy... nobody has anything anymore out here for antennas. Here is what I'm doing for now until I get them mounted outside.

At tomorrows meeting I'm going to ask someone from the FRRL to come to my house and do a test on my rig and see if he can make any contacts.
