In Reply to: Outside Antennas - Do they make that huge a difference? posted by eleiko2@verizon.net on April 17, 2016 at 15:18:13:
You are out, maybe $35-$45 dollars, but, at least, you will know.
If your station appears worth listening to, and since one light really isn't much for signal strength, you may get a big improvement.
Then, it is height and position that will matter the most.
If all your signals are in the same general direction, and you can use a directional antenna, that is best.
I am not a fan of the loaded whip antenna as it always gave me too much multiplath and also cost about $100.
