Hi folks,

I will often use my handheld ICOM IC-A5 transceiver as an ordinary
aviation
band scanner at home. However, the the small aerial on the unit doesn't do
too much food whilst I sit in the basement. I'd like to build an outside
aerial for it that is more effective.

Does anyone have any tips on making up a home aeraial for an IC-A5 that I
could implement. I do have an old TV aerial out back (with a 75 ohm cable
attached).

Give Jim Weir time to reply; I believe he sells a kit for an outside
aerial.
