Hi kind folks here.
Completely new to plane tracking and my very first post here. Just set up my Raspberry Pi yesterday and set it up with an entry-level DVB-T USB stick (with its antenna). Photos attached here. I started feeding data to FR24, but being an indoor antenna it has it limitations. So I am looking to set up an external antenna which I will place on the top of the building.

I am looking to set up an external antenna via a Coaxial cable.
Can you folks please guide me how to go about it?
1) Please suggest an external antenna which is easy to make (DIY) . Alternatively, I can purchase one .
2) Can I connect an external antenna to the USB stick using a 12 meters coaxial cable?
3) I am guessing I will have to crimp a MCX male connector at one end of the cable (which will go into the USB stick).
Thanks in advance guys.
