I can not condone this action as the FCC can impose a $10,000 fine and confiscate any and all radio transmitters in your possession/home if you are caught. They can also make it illegal for you own any radio transmitters in the future. That includes your garage door opener, cell phone and cordless phone etc. It's not worth the risk. As for modifying the antenna, I'm not sure if it is illegal to add a reflector and director elements to the antenna but warrants investigation. Reflectors and Directors are just elements of a certain length in front and behind the active antenna with no DC electrical connection the active antenna. The simply direct and collect the RF energy in designate direction. FIRST states that is not legal to modify the controllers for competition.
