Can I attach a PC Broadband Home Antennae to the top of my Homes MainElectrical Mast ?
If i were to attach my Broadband Antennae for my LapTop, right at the
top of my Homes Main Mast for the main electrical coming in....would it get interference from the electricity coming into the house ? The reason id like to attach it to the Mast is because it is the highest object on my roof and id like maximum reception for my Broadband Air Card. I could use my brick chimney, but its in the center of the roof whereas the Main Electrical Mast is on the side of the house near to where i want to run the cable inside the house for the Broadband Antennae. Please advise and thanks . |

Please advise and thanks . Go find a couple of metal coat hangers, an aluminum colander and some tin foil, but, remember for the best reception, install everything barefoot during a thunderstorm |

Please advise and thanks . Is your house four or more stories high?? I mean from the ground to the peak..you are prob only talking aout 20 feet MAX..correct?? I cannot see how that extra footage will matter on the connection strength..my guess is that if it is on the ground, down low where you can safely install, and service it..or up higher..the connection meter is going to show the same reading...20 feet or less just should not matter..but if you fall...move..or need service..THAT will matter...... just my opinion.....Good Luck! |

Please advise and thanks . Hi, How about in the attic away from element? Hi, Also there are many different kind of antennas. omni directional gain antenna, uni-directional gain antenna, etc. Have to use good quality coax to minimize line loss as well. |
