I think you would loose about 99% of your signal, @ 800MHz, though
100'
of
9913.

Say WHAT??

9913 has less than 4db loss at 800mhz.

That means less than 60% loss, NOT 99%!

While you loose about 60% of the signal, you gain much more than that by
getting an antenna outside and up in the air. The 4 db is not relally as
much as it seems . It just looks like a big loss on paper. Take a
flashlight and point it at a wall at one step back, then take another
step
back and see how little the light on the wall changes. This is about 3db
of
differance. Take another step back and this will be somewhere between 4
and
5 db, not 6.
