Real world perspectives on amateur built antenna installations
run the gamut from (a) doesn't work worth a @#$@#! to (b) works
really fine! Never have I seen engineering test data to compare
a new antenna with an old one. Go ahead and install any and all
antennas you might like to try. If they're inside, there's little
harm done if you decide your experiment falls into the !@#$@#$!
category. At the worst, you'll replace them with time honored
whiskers sticking out everywhere. Odds are in your favor that
they WILL perform adequately to you task.
