Poor installation but the copper wires inside that box go down into the ground.

Thanks for posting, good video showing the effects. I just grounded my cable for this reason.

you would have been replacing a lot more than a tv. try the whole side of your house.

You see lightning conducters on buildings. They're supposed to leak the charge away so it can't build up in the first place?

Ok ok here I got 10g stranded wire connected it with 2 washers wire in the middle screws the cb antenna to a 16 foot 2x4 with wire in there and grounded it with a 4ft copper ground rod I got on eBay for $22 and it works great. A old buddy I know just said make sure there connected

Excellent video , helpful 👍👊🇺🇸

Energy dont waste it

afaik, copper elements have no noticeable effect on receiving yagi, however while transmitting, less heat would be generated. also a loop antenna would benefit from the better conductivity of copper

Thankyou so much gor sharing. I am currently experiencing this with 12v low voltage LED garden lights. When i turn them on my house and neighbours house TV begins to pixelate. Is there anything i could add to my garden light wiring to resolve issue?

So, it's settled. There needs to be a ban on led lights. 😢 Rip leds. I am wondering about street lights and neighbors ' lights, or do we only need to worry about the bulbs in our own house?

I am wondering how you anchored it without puncturing the rubber roof. Seems like you'd need to sink the three feet into three pots of hardening concrete, each weighing 30 lb. Any resin would last only 3 years max, in the sun and ice. Screws would cause leaks. Concrete setting the feet would last decades.

Stacking two antennas like this increases the gain, signal strength along with a wide band pick up of tv signals. As I understand it the signals are a figure 8 pick up, stacking two tv antennas and phasing both in, has a longer, slender size 8 signal pick up pattern which increases the opportunity to get more outside tv stations further pick up pattern and margin.

What happens if you add a magnet to it will it boost it up higher or give it a better connection ??

You are wrong. Nec states loop meter box is internal grounded. Those strap on ground clamps are nec approved however you are correct it was not installed correctly

All electronic boxes and housings are grounded, I think you said that but the problem is you don't know the length... When dealing with Rf it is always better to ground separately with a minimum of 8ft driven into the ground as electronics inside the house all share that same grounding rod and will admit Rf interferences

But does it have to also be grounded to the main home electrical system? This just appears to be a separate ground rod.

First. I love that meter! That is beautiful! Second, I have this SAME issue. But with LED Street Lights. So at night I lose all VHF signals. I've tried all I can. But I don't know how to resolve the issue since it's lights put up by the county. I've talked to them about it MANY times, they don't care. I've filled an FCC complaint, to no avail. The only good thing is the VHF channels have UHF counterparts I use at night. But they're not as stable for me as VHF. I am 68 miles from the transmitters, using various Televes antennas, and a Channel Master CM3020.

Here it is stated. Different materials tune differently for different frequencies. You should try this test again after tuning the elements for copper on the same frequency. People are taking your conclusion for granted but it is not a correct conclusion! ruclips.net/video/ev_C0YeOuD4/видео.html

You probably need to tune the copper elements differently to the aloy ones. Also you only did a test on rx not tx, and the elements could have been straightened better and the ends were not flattened off such as on the aloy ones. It would be fair to tune both sets of elements for that frequency and then compare once tuned for the same frequency.

Ground both antenna base and coax.

does is help reception any?

Turn your mic up...!

so you are saying there is nothing in those PVC covers made of metal that is running into the ground? All electrical boxes have to be grounded. right?

Never have antennas that close to a power line

Fortunately you didn't take a direct hit, allowing any lightening into your house in first place is a no no. Use a Caoxial Lightning Surge Arrestor/Protector inserted outside in coax at base of mast, then a ground cable ties directly from it to a ground rod. Also get a ground clamp for your mast, run a copper cable to an 8-foot rod buried in ground (Not the mast as a ground only), for that matter your coaxial ground can tie to ground rod as well. I can tell you a direct hit would have been devastating (I seen lots of equipment destroyed) with no proper outside grounding.

Good information. In Orlando where I live I see people putting up Antennas and not grounding them. I had to alert them on our facebook page how dangerous it was.

As a ham radio operator I will agree with you that aluminum is king!! Usually the yagi or log periodic antenna is made out of aluminum, however lots of time the wire antennas used for HF are made of copper wire. For instance, the basic dipole antenna. Aluminum can be used as well but in my case I usually use regular THHN household wire as it is easier to buy at the big box stores ( Lowes’s or Home Depot ). Thanks for the video and very well presented.

I like you testing copper over aluminum.Been told that two of the main reason of using aluminum is the cost and the flexibility of the elements when in winter sleeting the flex removers most of the problems. How do you like your nano VN A ??? Michigan is a real super nice location to live and enjoy. Would you have any deep fringe antenna that you would like to get rid of Sir ??? The thing that gets me with copper is some swear by it other avoid it like the plague. Thanks fella vf

Best gift for everyone to watch on RUclips Dr Zakir naik English and get real heaven's satisfaction and happiness and save urself and ur families

This is not a scientific test. I would caution anyone watching this it is garbage.

Radio emissions come from current in the elements. Current through a resistor dissipates energy as heat. Copper is more conducive than aluminum, so more of your signal will end up being converted to heat with aluminum than with copper. Thicknesses of the wire/ elements and shape (to a lesser extent) are also variables that affect the conductivity. The difference in the very small antenna you have there will probably not be noticeable. In larger antennas it will be.

What should I look for when purchasing an LED light? I have a OTA antenna and do not want this to happen to my signals.

Interesting test, what about 2.4 GHz? does that mean copper is bad for it too?

👍

whats the nano vna reading on the aluminium?
