[Geoff]

Occurs to me, I didn't reply to the List, only to Bryan.

Mea culpa.

Bryan... best way is to just hook up a piece of coax to your scope 
(ass/u/me'ing it's got a BNC connector on it) and the other end out the 
window with a small'ish (4" diameter) one or two turn loop for pick-up.  
Lay it on the roof, hang it from a branch, etc...

I've never been a fan of running untold VOLTS of RF thru a scope. 
Picking it up off the air, I think, would be better.

Besides that, you get more of a true representation of what your TOTAL 
signal looks (and sounds) like.
