If it is not available locally at your favorite ham radio store (if there are any left) you can order or obtain information from Dick Austin at: Austin Custom Antennas P.O. Box 357 Sandown NH 03873 Telephone: (603) 887-2926. I haven't tried his scanner antenna, but all of his products which I have tried have worked extremely well. The log-periodic is another quite valid approach, but it is of course directional. You might want one of Austin's units or something designed along the same lines even if you also buy or build a log-periodic. Incidentally, Dick will quote on custom antennas for specialized purposes, as the name of his company suggests. Hint: his current hot item is antennas for cellular mobile telephone service. 73 to the net, John S., W3IKG
