If you want the complete maths, then I will have to guide you to 6 month semester in "antenna theory and applications" which is used to torture Electronics engineering students. Believe me I suffered through it. My analog designer friends are still suffering, so are poor board designers.
thanks tsk. will see if the after market antenna works fine. if not, then ill try the above method.

OT - why, is engineering a torture? i would love to do it. what is the criteria for admission? can i do it through correspondence? or is there a shorter course on electronics which i can do? let me know please. i didnt take my studies seriously and im suffering. now im damn serious and willing.

cheers
