One day I disconnected my outdoor all-band scanner antenna and decided to put the telescopic stock antenna back on. (Just to see what the difference was).
To my surprise, I was hitting more VHF-HI towers in the system I monitor,when I had the antenna set at proper segments.
This has got me thinking of keeping the telescopic antenna on at least until Low Band skip returns.
What I would be interested in knowing is, what "back of set" antenna would you recommend? Just throw out some suggestions, regardless of price.
On the low price end, I see RadioShack has this Center-Loaded Telescoping Whip Antenna - RadioShack.com, although I'm afraid it would be too flimsy.
