The transistor is a BC547 NPN type. I mistakely put a BC557 PNP type but drew the symbol for a NPN type. Thanks Scruffman for pointing that out to me.Robin.

I have tried a few experiments doing this (but resting a wire dipole on the upper surface of the spoiler). As the boot lid is less than 0.5 wavelengths below the antenna, the antenna is effectively too close to the ground (the boot lid acts like a large ground plane). The resulting signal is poor. Lifting the dipole about 30-40 cm (ie approaching 0.5 wavelengths) above the boot lid vastly improves the signal. Also the dipole is too directional. I'm going to experiment with a electric car antenna which will act as a 5/8 wavelength vertical when fully extended. This will produce about 1.5 dbi gain. I'll post up the results when it happens.Robin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
