Thank you!
Thank you very much for your replies!
Now, a week after I started this thread, I am a happy Maycom AR-108 owner. I won an auction at a very good price and I said to myself that I will sell it if I don't like it. However, I do, but (yes, there is always 'but') after the first day of listening, I feel like I am missing a lot of what is happening up there. I live about 10NM away from EGCC in a straight line and I live on a hill, therefore I can actually see the runway with no objects (except one tree) in between my bedroom (my bedroom's window is where I see the runway from) and EGCC. I still have a lot of background noise sometimes and some transmissions are broken and simply not understandable. I have read quite a few things online and some people mention outdoor aerials. Although I have a TV aerial just outside my window, I am not sure if it would even work for this purpose.
So, what I would be asking you now, is to help me to increase the range of my Maycom AR-108 anyhow it would me possible. It could be an outdoor aerial (as mentioned above, I have one already, but may be useless for this purpose) or any other one (as said above, airport is visible from my bedroom and the receiver is stood at the windowsill; outdoor seems good to catch aircraft around the other sides of my house).
Thank you very much for your help so far, and thanks in advance for help on the next part of the 'project'.
