Just click the option to start the threads from the beginning and press go (good idea to do that on all the sections you are interested in as there is alot of good stuff in the older posts) and you'll see them. There's actually 3 threads on them I think.
The short antennas you see are actually springs that are 5-6 times lonnger than the original zip antenna if stretched out straight. It was a method I used to dramatically increase range.

Azimov,

I must be having a dumb day or something. All I can find at bitscience.com are links to the following.

Featured items:
DiceBlaster for Windows
PhotoChallenge for Windows
DiceBlaster for PalmOS
CueCat Craziness

How can I get to your solar powered ZZ stuff?

What material were the coil spring antennas made of? How short could you make them and still get a range of about 10'?

Thanks,
Hugo

Just put the show threads thingy on "descending order" and the next pull down on "from the beginning" and press go. Here's the links if you still don't get it. But, there is alot of other cool stuff in there.

They are springs I found in an old printer. I'm not sure, but you could probably cut one to approximate the length of the stock antenna and get that range or better. The spring would then be about a quarter inch tall.

Azimov,

Thanks for the links and the antenna Info. That answers my questions but I still can‘t find a link to the old stuff at http://www.bitscience.com/index.html. Is that the right E-ddress or am I just having another Dumb Day?

That link didn't work for me, so I don't know what it is. The Bit Science I'm refering to is a section on this forum. You get to it on the main forums page by clicking on Bit Char-G, MicroSizers, Z-Cars, Clones in the 1/64 and Smaller catagory. Then you'll see the sections within that one. One of those is BitScience. Then you follow my instructions in the former posts to get to the older threads. Or, you can try this link.

Thanks Azimov,
It helps when you have the correct E-ddress. You're right, lots of good stuff in there.
