I put a mag antenna on to of an umbrella stand. Then grounded the thing to the roof.
This is probably a stupid build, I have 0% spending money and had to use what I had around the house.
I haven't tested the SWR yet (can't find the meter) and haven't transmitted yet (don't want to risk anything).
My friend drove to the end of the road (about a block down) and I was able to hear him fine.
Any suggestions would be nice. And yes, I would rather use a proper antenna, but, I am broke.
