They are supposed to have more gain.
Mount it on a vertical board and put a 'lazy susan', under it to turn it to point it at stations.
You can make your own and cut them to a 1/4 wavelength of a particular station, divide by .95 IIRC.

- They have more gain than a car radio antenna, not much but down at those levels of gain an extra db or two is - Timbo in Oz 15:18:18 07/13/17 (0)

- No they're directional and need to be aimed as my post indicated. - Timbo in Oz 14:48:25 07/11/17 (0)
