Thanks for the link to the pdf file, great info.
I propably can try building an antenna in the attic after Christmas (work) is over.
A few questions:
I assume I can somehow build a rombic shaped thing, or connect the wire somehow to the beams in the attic.
For the frequencies around 90 MHz, would each lead of the 4 sides be about 9 feet or a total of 9 feet?
Would I use a 300 ohm or 75 ohm coax antenna wire from the addic to the tuner?
Receiver has only a 300 ohm connection.

- the matching is dealt with in the article, read the stuff about lengths again, and make it as long as you can - Timbo in Oz 11:57:48 12/17/09 (0)
