Home-made antenna

[GreatBigMouth]

As some of you may know, I'm not a person who likes to spend money on things. Instead, I prefer the free alternative (provided there is one). You can probably guess what this thread is about..... - making your own home made iBurst antenna, or at least something similair, to improve signal strength. Lately things haven't been looking so good in terms of my signal. Now the question is, what can be done to improve signal despite buying an external antenna?

Hmmm... can't I just use a thin copper wire duck taped to my window?

i made one before i purchased one... fairly simple and gave me a fairly good boost... however bought antenna is better.
