Newby with First Scanner

Hello all



First of all I must say that I live in the UK,so I presume it's OK for me to join?



Ok,I have a Bearcat UBC125XLT and a Watson 881 Supergainer Antenna.



I live in a village in the country,but I get a lot of Aircraft on approach into Manchester

And a lot overflying the UK en route to other destinations.



The antenna is not pulling manystations,so today I made a temporary antenna out of a length of TV coax and ran it out of the window.



The difference is amazing,so if I want to make this a more permanent antenna,what cable would be the best?



I can't have a roof mounted antenna but a loft antenna is possible.



Thanks



Alan
