  1. Reception in the car is great. Reception in my old apartment on the other side of the building was great. But now it's terrible. I tried getting one of those Terk power amilified antennas and it works *sometimes* but not even that great. Should I run a long antenna up the side of the wall or what?

  2. Get a proper FM yagi aerial (4 elements should be enough) and mount it on your roof and point it in the general direction of your FM transmitter mast. Most stations these days use vertical polarisation so align the elements (rods) vertical.

  3. Try placing a drinks can on the ariel, suspended by the ring pull.

    It might work... It's an excuse for a beer anyway!

    No, I meant that the beer worked; my reception still sucks.

    I don't know what I'm more suprised at; the fact I'm still laughing or the act you actually do have a sense of humour.

    I don't know what I'm more suprised at; the fact I'm still laughing or the fact that after all this time you may actually have a sense of humour.

    Well, I am. However, lately I've notice Baldrick is getting a little slow in getting out the payments to me on time. But then, they do have to come from Sweden.
