I just got my Ham license recently and I have a 2m/70cm Baofeng Transceiver. I'm planning on building an antenna for it so I can hit repeaters that I can't reach right now with my rubber duck antenna. I'm probably thinking of a a simple J-pole antenna using ladder wire. I rent my house and I can't mount anything on the roof or drill holes. I'm planning on mounting this antenna on a basketball hoop I own and feeding it through my basement window. My basement window has no glass but just a screen I'm planning on taking out and replacing with plywood with holes to feed the wires through. I also bought a Pacer123A CB radio and plan to also set up an antenna for 11m. Any suggestions or ideas?
