Yes, I'm using it vertically polarized. The fishing pole allows me to put the antenna away from the building through the window to have a better reception. The result is like a T rotated 90 degrees. If I want to change the polarization I only have to rotate the fishing pole. But I'm only using FM and everybody else is using vertically polarization.

Yes, any antenna is better than no antenna at all. But I've been struggling to find a solution for my qth. Almost everyone assumes that you have a balcony to put the antenna and I didn't have one. So hopefully this could work for others.

Hi! I wanted to share a simple dual band dipole that I've built recently. It has been performing perfectly fine for me the las weeks given the fact that I'm at the first floor of a tall building surrounded by tall buildings also.

Also it's extremely cheap to build. To get it out I'm using a fishing pole.

Maybe someone in the same situation than me could find it useful.

Lemmy instance requieres at minimun 150mb of RAM, the CPU usage is minimum. Don't expect it to scale well to a lot of users, but it should work for a few users. More info here: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/administration.html:
