What cable for remote mouting FM radio antenna?
(OP)
Hello everybody, At our workshop we get real bad radio reception, I think this is probably due to the shop being a closed tin shed.. what would be the right cable to use mount the antenna outside the earthed metallic structure that we work in?
Thanks heaps

What's the radio that you're using? A portable one with a whip antenna? Or a radio from an old car, connected to a power supply? Else?

Get it as high as possible.
The center of the roof is generally best unless you are after a specific channel only.

Maybe it could double as a lighting rod too!

lightning?? What's that?
We have had 3 lightning storms, (perhaps 5 minutes long), here in 41 years!! Not the first thing that comes to mind for me. But that is actully something to consider!

Wheels within wheels / In a spiral array
A pattern so grand / And complex
Time after time / We lose sight of the way
Our causes can't see / Their effects.
