Hi all - I am looking into getting a base station that I can set up in my home office, and am looking for an antenna to mate with it. My office looks out on to the main road, so I’d likely have to route the antenna up through the ceiling, into the attic, then on to the back of the house.
I’d really prefer to have a small antenna just outside my window to avoid doing all of that work if at all possible. I’m okay with sacrificing range in the near term while I figure out a more dynamic and permanent solution.
What resources do you all use to acquire antenna parts and accessories? I’m studying for the General license now, and am looking at used base receivers of all types, including some with 2 antenna ports on the back. Is Gigaparts a good place to get started? Any local places (near Acton/Concord/Maynard)?
Thanks in advance,
