[QUOTE="Archive-8, post: 987761"] Walking around b & q I found some wire conduct 2 meters long. I had intended to cut up a tube for my 8 segment co-linear. Came home with it, found some double screened coax, made a 16 segment co-linear. I started of making 12 segments, put them in the tube to offer up to the window, and the tube fell over, so I added a couple more segments, and still to short. So I just kept adding more segments until it stayed there (16) then added so coax as a cable. And plugged the dongle in to the PC, and not with the usb extension I was using. So far, I have a further range then I had before. I had a couple of blind area to the west of me Taunton area and to the east of me towards Bournemouth. Now I am locking about 55 nm in the English Channel. Some out of Bournemouth. Helicopters on the ground at r.n.a.s. Yeovilton. [/QUOTE]
