I'm aware of different types, we did study RF (abeit taught badly)
at college. What I really meant to ask was whether you could just
buy anything other than the omni style in any old computer shop you
might walk into. I've seen allegedly high-gain larger omni whips, but
I've never seen other patterns in a shop, but I've certainly seen
things you could make, or order off the web.
i would not think the average "mom and pop" computer store would have
such. not much of a demand. tho i would well imagine that they would
be "happy to order".
not the "any old computer shop you might walk into", but such are
available at;
