Slowing becoming un-noob.
COMPLETELY EDITED....

NEW IDEA!!

SO alright, I was reading some things on the internet and I found ways to increase the range on an iTrip....Now I was wondering if there would be a way to hook the iTrip antenna up to a bigger tower type of deal..(nothing huge) and be able to make this so the range on the iTrip increases A LOT!

Here's a link to a guy who increased it a little...

So lets say I do something like that, but add a whole bunch of legth and width to the wire...would this increase it? thanks!

You tower will need to be 6.8 miles tall. I'd make it pretty wide at the bottom. :D

Wait for your tech guys. If you are a noob there is nothing anyone can tell you in a few posts on the net that's gonna help you at all, and a month of study won't do anything for you except you won't feel 100% stupid talking to someone who knows what they are doing.

Alright....so I'm not a complete noob, I just want some info.

I was thinking maybe about 50 feet tall, and then just have a signal booster that will help send the signal out. Would something like that work?

Yeah, I'll wait, but yeah. I'm still looking for some info, guess you couldn't really help, but alright, maybe other people will. ha. Thanks though

It depends on your broadcast frequency. :)

Yeah, just use a fencepost and barbed wire instead. It'll be great!!

Seriously? No. That thing won't generate enough juice, and legally it can't, so you'd have to build a real transmitter anyway.

I have my reasons...dial up...haha.

Just go with it.

Yeah dial up would probably get in the way. Can you not get broadband in your area?

If your goal is to get arrested for broadcasting without a license and becoming some fat guy's bitch, then yes that would work great.
