Even a good mag mount antenna on a cookie sheet will do so much better outside versus inside.

I certainly hope so, because my mag mount that works so well on the vehicle is worthless stuck in a closet on a pizza pan.  An HT with a rubber ducky is better.  Time to run some cable out the window I guess.

I used a mag mount antenna for 2m/70cm on a 9x13 cookie sheet mounted to the outside wall and it did just fine. Yes it was a bit directional being so close to the wall. So make sure to get your antenna up above everything if possible to have the best omni directional pattern.
