GROUND

With the exception of specifically ungrounded antennas such as di-poles and vehicular whip antennas, antennas need a good ground to effectively radiate. Inside, a cold water pipe is considered the best. Note, I said "cold" water pipe. Outside, using the ground stake as a target for urinating works and if all else fails a counterpoise works.
