I have a quick question. I am building a simple dipole out of wire. Is it better to use a thicker wire for the antenna or will thin wire work the same?
I currently have a wire dipole on my roof and I can monitor the surrounding counties on VHF loud and clear. It's a verticle mount and it's just attached to some pvc that I got from work. I'm trying to improve my UHF and 800 bands, otherwise very impressive for not spending any money, just used stuff lying around the house. This antenna will not be used to transmit, just to monitor. Thanks for any help.
