Chong,
Indoor antennas are always a compromise, never the 'best' you can possibly have. What you're using is probably as good as anything else you can try. Wanna try something different? Nothing wrong with that, so go ahead and try it. Don't expect miracles, there just aren't any.

I have been doing some experimenting myself. So far the Wilson 5000 Mag mount (stuck on a .22 bullet box) has been the best. I am currently setting up a Double Bazooka in the atic to see how that works. I have also tried a zero ground plane Solarcon on the gutter of the house which actually has worked very well (but not really an indoor antenna).
 
yep

its gotta be indoor im in an apt. it really sux im in the bottom floor so my antenna is only about 3 foot off the ground but it get out about 40 to 60 miles im happy with it im just looking for other ideas its sort of directional so im trying to get it so its not well peace for now - chong

Chong,

I hope your new place doesn't have any those CC & R things! Or those old blue-haired ladies peeking over their cheaters to tell you what you can do or not. :p
