Use a Pringles can.  Cut a hole in the side of the can a few inches from the 
bottom and position your antenna in the can with the hole of the can pointing 
towards your backyard... You'll have to play around with the distance from 
the back of the can to get the signal strength right, so you might use up a 
few cans before you get it right...
