Well, a common "hack" here in the US is to get a Yuban Coffee Can,
punch a hole in the middle of the B and connect an N connector with a
short copper wire (on the order of 3cm iirc). Gives you a decent
antenna for not a lot of money, but lacks FCC certification. Good for
listening, but less good for xmit.
