Progress
Well a quick lash-up in the car seems to work, reception is rubbish though.
Just using the rear cigar lighter for now for power with cables going out of the door, but it works. Getting the odd TV channel and a bit of radio after moving the aerial all over the place. Oddly me standing "behind" it (in relation to the transmitter) improves reception a lot - electromagnetic transmission experts explain please! We are in a TERRIBLE TV reception area though (in a valley with no local repeater); even the main aerial on the house (30' above the car) has a masthead amplifier AND a further distribution amp in the loft. So, lots to do to hide it all away. And finding a suitable aerial will be vital - all thoughts welcome.
