Here is what I have:
A Grundig G5 radio with an antenna out
Front windows of my apartment are at ground level
The apartment is located at highest points in the Baltimore Area: many TV towers and a NEXRAD around here
A big spool of 18 or 20 ga wire
Home made ant. adapter with a connection for ground and ant (Cut rg6 coax using the shielding as ground in and center as ant feed in)
Is it worth my while to:
Put a ground rod right out side my window?
Will the grundig accept /benefit from it?
I can make a wire ant that loops around the ceiling of the apt
or
Make an antenna that I can unspool at night and lay horizontally outside
At one point I lived down the street in a house and got alot of signals I'm hoping this will be the same?
What say ye?
