      Thanks for the replies.
      
      I found out that all our antennas need a ground plane, as it is the other half
      of the dipole antenna.  It can be the airframe itself grounded to the antenna,
      or a sheet of aluminum, or even sticky-back copper foil tapped to lexon in the
      form of 4 to 8 spokes that have a radius equal to the length of the antenna
      (shorter works but not as good.) They need to be soldered at their intersection.
      Craft stores carry the foil tape.
