Default DIY Scanner Antenna

Bill wrote:
I have looked around on Google without much success. I am interested in
making my own indoor antenna for my scanner. It must be general coverage and
omni directional. I have wire and coax. Just looking for something that is
going to be better than the telescoping antenna built into the scanner
without going outdoors. If anyone has any ideas or links for websites with
some info on building your own indoor antenna please share
Thank You and Best Regards
Bill




Make a "Slim-jim" (J-pole) from some twinlead/hookup wire.
Tack it high up in the wall,and call it good.
