Hello All,
I was wondering if any of you have done this and if so could relate your experience. I am trying to determine which antennas might work well in my location and several folks have mentioned the R8. The problem I have is that there is not a a lot of property around my house so I am limitied as to what I can put up. A vertical on the roof seems the best solution, but I'm also open to suggestions. If you believe there is a better antenna than the R8, I'd like to hear that too.
Thanks,
Barracuda

Thanks,
