[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 992778, member: 176704"] Chris & A/S OK - I'll be very happy to accept your very kind offers! But first I need to build/buy an antenna - a discone would be good, but there's quite a few home-builds talked-about on this [URL='http://www.fightercontrol.co.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=7']section[/URL] of the Fighter Control forum, and, at times, I was thinking about building one of the bow-tie types to mount "somewhere" (but the attic could be difficult as it is lined with double-aluminium skinned Celotex foam insulation - and so it will probably have to go outside at roof level) to use with my Uniden UBCXLT125 scanner anyway. Therefore it will probably be a discone - depends a bit on price. PS: I can "hear" pretty much what is overhead around here without anything "technical" - we're only 5 miles N of Heathrow (luckily, not on the flightpath - [I]so far![/I]) and 2 miles S of Northholt!
