I'm aware of different types, we did study RF (abeit taught badly) at college. What I really meant to ask was whether you could just buy anything other than the omni style in any old computer shop you might walk into. I've seen allegedly high-gain larger omni whips, but I've never seen other patterns in a shop, but I've certainly seen things you could make, or order off the web. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.5-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Mon Apr 20 20:28:39 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
