[bars] SDR antenna

[KC1SOZ]

For Father's Day I talked my wife into accompanying me to the MIT Flea
Market in Cambridge. We also took our Puerto Rican terrier rescue, Rina. I
was pleasantly surprised that attendance was light to medium and there were
not one, but TWO parking spots right next to the entrance to the parking
building! That alone made it a good day for me.

Of course, I found some cool stuff I really didn't need (why else would
anyone go there?) like a funky beer can chicken grill adapter with spikes
for corn on the cob and potatoes (no man cave should be without one...),
but I also found a 4:1 balun that will work with my Cobra Ultralite dipole
for $20, and something I had never thought about before, a NewGen.RTL2832
SDR USB stick. Got home, plugged it in, found software that works and isn't
written by anti-social dweebs who try to pass themselves off as
programmers....

...and then realized, like everything else in this world, the key is the
right antenna.

Soooo... here comes another can of worms. What's a good antenna for an SDR
if I want to be able to listen to HF, VHF and UHF?
