We haven't had a poll for ages - so here's one.

Hi Rod, I'm missing a 5th option in the poll: Yes and No, I'm using both aerials, but on different occasions. Mainly I'm using a more "powerful" one for my 24/7 home-station and once in a while the original one for "mobile" actions or on holidays.

I would second Neroon with that.

Ingo - I thought about that, but I assumed that anyone with an extra aerial would still carry on with the supplied one when travelling, like I do.

next option : No - I designed and built another one and erected it myself

Dxman - that counts as a number 3!

As 1) states "it works fine for me". Choosing options 2,3 or 4 may suggest that the original supplied aerial didn't work fine ?

My originally supplied aerial worked fine, but I elected to fit an external aerial simply to increase reception. As I erected it myself I am tempted to vote for 3), but am very nervous of doing so as I fear this could imply that I am suggesting the originally supplied aerial was something other than "fine". I'd hate to be banned or criticised by other forum users for what could be perceived as a negative comment towards AN, whereas this is not the case at all. Just to reiterate (before I get flamed by the usual people !) , the originally supplied aerial is fine. In fact it is more than fine, I can't even think of a suitable superlative adjective to describe it.

I have no choice but to use a external aerial because I am in such a bad dip!

I also would vote 1 and 3 if I could. Yes, the original supplied aerial works fine for me, and I use it when mobile. When at home, I've got another one and erected it myself.

This really needs to be a poll that allows multiple selections.

Same for me.

Hi Rod, 1 & 4 for me, I don`t do DIY and the Wife wouldn`t go up the ladder I was holding, just after I`d done the accident insurance.

Nice one Dave!

RodBearden · March 20, 2011, 11:57:06 AM

OK - I've changed the question to make it clearer (I hope).

As I said in reply #3, I assume that folk with an extra aerial for their base (home) setup will still use the supplied aerial when mobile.

Do you use the original supplied aerial as your base aerial?
