I'm thinking of a long wire configuration. the next thing is getting the 
accursed thing up high enough to be of any use. if I want to be real 
stealthy I could run it along my fense which is about 5 foot off the 
ground but, that could be a problem efficiency wise. I need to find a 
happy medium where I can get the best out of my nice shiney new piece of 
wire and yet be able to pull it down and erect it at a moment's notice. 
I might even try a tak-tenna but I'm a cheap scate. so I'll settle for 
my 8 dollar roll of copper wire.
