How would you rank this compared to your other designs? Great videos!

Sorry for the dumb question but...how do I attach to my TV? 😂

Seems to me i should ne able to make and antenna out of the aluminum siding on my house is this possible, if so how.

I have a question, aluminum seems to be the right material for and antenna, o.k my house is covered with it, can I use this as and antenna.

I purchased a roof mount antenna (FSA-3806), that works quite well, except it does not get VHF-Low. I have been following your videos and I have a question...does the VHF-Low antenna for channel 6 (66 1/8") need to be a certain distance from the reflector? Thank you.

😮wow. 😂 simply marvelous darling, simply marvelous! 😆👍🎉.h. n . Year!

Campers are junk now! Not built very well, so I am just going to buy a dual axle cargo trailer and do a light conversion on it.

I appreciate your videos, and I have learned some things. I have a question concerning a Yagi antenna I already have. It works fine, but I was wondering if I could improve it somehow by increasing the length of the aluminum elements already on it. I've heard these things are made with precise measurements, but do you think replacing a 4 foot element with a 6 or 8 foot elements might bring in more channels from further distances? Thanks.

I like the way you use such simple items to mock up your idea antenna. A real simple way fella. NICE.

Is this better than a $20 one off Amazon? All these parts start to add up.

I built a gray hoverman antenna out of 8 gauge copper wire it is the best antenna I've ever had.

MR. Hop To It, keep on making great videos and make sure you have yourself a Happy New Year and hopefully we both will have a many to celebrate too. Peace vf

Mine is coat hanger antenna I get 54 channels in my area with a signal gain booster which helps some

It is rather well known that element thickness increases antenna bandwidth. In this instance this is likely to be little importance. RF travels on the surface of the wire so the surface area of the outside of the wire will have some effect. This also is likely of small importance. The effects of element characteristics ( wire material and wire thickness)can be modeled in programs such as EZ-NEC.

Very impressive. I do not know how you learned this info. You surely helped me. I love to watch a person that has skill. Thanks again.

I’m going to try this. I just ordered some baluns from Amazon.

Do you have hills/trees where you are?

What happens when a bird shits on it? I mean sits on it 😂 lol

All good except I would not use a cheap BALUN like that. To go through all this trouble and use a cheap transformer in my opinion is pointless. Just my two cents worth

3:06... I have those same pliers. They were my fathers. They are one of my favourite tools I use it quite often 😅

Can i make the diameter smaller and have the copper wire loop two or three times?

You needed a preamp on that booster at the antenna

UHF Loop antenna

Where to get the transformer??

Since you used tin flashing for the reflector on the octagon antenna, how well would it work for the reflector on this antenna vs the 1/2" wire mesh?

Great job WGBH for going to Low-VHF … I’m missing PBS 2, so glad no WGBX is UHF

While I love the simplicity of what you've done here, I gotta wonder what it would do for those of us who are geographically challenged and if you have suggestions on how to improve a wide angle signal when mountains present a challenge. I'm not sure where you are located, but I'm in central Pennsylvania. While I can point an antenna in different directions to get signals from anywhere just outside of Philadelphia all the way to Hagerstown, MD (I only got this once), I can never seem to get more then a handful of real channels at one time. By real channels, I mean the core ones: ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX. Not that the others aren't nice, but the idea is to see local sports channels and the news.

NICE video for the FM stereo receiver. Simple antenna to make too. Peace MHTI. vf

This is a great idea that show how perseverance makes innovation happen.

Would stacking this design say 4 deep really increase the range and gain MHTI ?? Thanks

Good video Sir

Amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Great idea!

Wow that was great idea, and with your expertise you made it look so easy. Now you got a big fridge. Another happy camper! lol

Never took to camping, however we somewhat did on a boat. After 15 years, 5 boats later, than the 55ft that we lived on year round in Ct, for four years, we grew tired of it. Camping and boating are about the same, however the boat loved gas. lol

This video is giving me such strong summer in the '90s nostalgia

is this legal

Has this been tested for the range and vhf/uhf signal strength? Does it need a preamp for increased signal?

In my experiment on my channel the results were the reverse. The $1.00 Balun performed better according to the signal meter in the converter box. I even went so far as to put the data in a table to show my measurements.

Thank you very much he made this very easy to understand

What is the receiver rrange for this antenna? Is it helpful to add an amp?

Do you happen to have the invoice or part number or anything that can help Forest River find this part. 17 texts later and they still can find it. I need the left rear please.

Thanks for sharing 👍💯

Nice video

Looks like a good place to camp out, it seems that they do have to improve on the lighting a bit, but hey they had garbage pickup! lol

Great job! thanks

Yes and: Don't get put off if the menus don't look like that. You may have to google to find the method for your TV if it isn't obvious but this is not rocket science. Also: Buy a "BALUN" or "Matching transformer". They only cost about a dollar.

This one looks like a great spot when traveling through the area. I'll add this one to the list. Nice job.

The Carolinas are really nice area to enjoy camping. The smell of the pines when the due comes in the early evening. Takes me back a few years when we were playing poker and I won 500 smakers. The people are really nice too. Nice video MHTI. Peace....... v
