So far the best antenna I managed to build is a dipole made with the thin RG174 coaxial cable, which I have plenty of. The curious thing is that I did the two rods 136mm long with the very scientific reason of 'I can shorten them later'. This one can pick up signals 200km away from an indoor location near a big window, where the other dipole with the proper 68mm rods gets less planes at a shorter range. I'm sticking with the wrong one until a better effort.
