When I make a coco, I start with 4 element & test. If results are promising, I add 2 elements (i.e. make it 6 element) & test. If find 6 better than 4, I add 2 more (i.e. make it 8 element) and test again.

From my point of view i would be much happier if i can get the same result from a coco as from a spider because i think the coco is much more weather proof than the spider.

3 EASY ANTTENNAS FOR BEGINNERS The main disadvantages of stock antenna supplied with DVB-T USB Dongle are: (1) It has a very short lead. Due to this, in most cases the antenna cannot be placed at an optimum location. (2) The stock antenna is not optimized for 1090 Mhz. SOLUTION FOR PROBLEM (1): The short cable
