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

Works even better without a painted coat hanger

Thanks for the lessons shared. Till I get the experimental constitution. I will get back to you.

Is the antenna working with a customized DTH/dtv device? Or is it working with a UHF/VHS TV RECEIVER?

Again, if the antenna is completed, how many metres high can the pole hold this antenna be raised to make the antenna receive in this region?

I live in valley surrounded by mountains. We are about 300 to 500km from DTV or DTH transmission stations. The only tv channels we can receive is satellite tv transmissions. Can this antenna be used to receive local networks or dtv/DTH channels for local news? Waiting to hear from you soon.

Can the antenna WORK out for people in AFRICA living in the valley of mountains? How many kilometers can this antenna construction be able to pick signals from the transmission channels?

I am looking forward to your antenna making things Sir. Hope all is well too. Say hello to the better half........

I wish i could post pictures of my results here. Very nice design and bravo! I just built this and WOW it is powerful. I used 6 guage wire instead and while more difficult to feed into the pipe, it is highly broadband. I used 6in flashing with 1.5in "wings" bent to much less than 45° as at 4in distance, 45° does not point at the element. I also ran a 14 guage wire from one of the element screws to a rivet in the reflector and grounded/bonded the reflector to the element as most reflectors should also be a ground plane. Even with the antenna in a bad location for testing only 6 ft off the ground and in between houses, i picked up 82 channels crystal clear. Looking at tvfool, this is pretty much every channel within 35 miles of me! Very nice design! Building a few more for some friends but will also next try 1/4 wavelength spacing to the reflector as 4 inches puts it at ~725MHz which is above the UHF OTA tv range (your input on the 4inch spacing is very welcome!). Still, this exact build as you have shown is very VERY good and easy to build for anyone that wants some free tv! Thank you for taking the time to make and share this you Rockstar!

Excellent detailed instructional video. I appreciated you taking time to go through matrrials needed. I plan on building the reflector antenna this weekend. Currently I'm using a store bought black bar HD antenna about 2" wide and 24:long.., but only get about 8-10 channels and use it indoors. I will try your reflector antenna indoors first ..then move it outside, problaby mounted on a 10-12' galvanized pole Will let you know how it works . Thanks again for the video

How about trying a director element outside the active one?

Imagine you just hook up a sonar/lidar range finder to each deployable element and having a red/green light per thing .

Simple but a good idea to potentially save you time or from having a accident or needing to move tge camper.

OK, that was quite a bit different than you other video. I'll have to read about the double sided Eterna bond tape, looks like it is some sticky stuff. while watching the video I was thinking that at the corners were you butted the tape together might be a location for leak but then you busted out the 221 and I thought OK that should work. looks like you posted this video 3 weeks ago so please let us/me know how the installation holds up with keeping the water out. I am expecting my window in about 4 weeks. Until then I'll have to cover my window with some water tight tape of some kind and a tarp or plastic drop cloth cut to size to make my November camping trip. Anyway thanks for taking the time to create and share your video.

Just bought a 2008 FourWinds RV and the rain came right after we bought it. Cracked skylight. So the tape hopefully will help. God be with you. Thank you so much!

did you run into any problems running an inner and outer bead when compressing the beads with the window flange? it seems to me that when you compress the beads you create air pressure between the inner and outer beads that would need to escape and the only path to escape would be to push air past one or maybe both the beads? Just wondering if that happened because I need to replace one of my bubble windows.

We have a Winegard antenna on our camper. It has the same number on the base as the video has - 3100520. The cable broke on it and will need replaced. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Have you ever made a DB4, DB8, or DB16 bow tie antenna? I was wondering how they would compare to the quad hoop.

Both are junk! Get a Channel Master CM94444 & you wont have to worry😉

I have copper wire available. You made it seem that I could use it in place of the aluminum. How would the dimensions/construction change if you used copper? Your video is very helpful and clear.

Awesome build and design. Appears to be UHF optimizsd. New version with Vhf Hi elements added? I assume you could use treated lumber similar to that used for decks, for weather resistance. Stain to match your exterior, neighborhood

Nice video. I honestly know nothing about antennas so disregard if you wish. - Just wondering, since copper proved superior why didn't you try one diameter size down in copper tubing to compare to the 10awg electrical wire? I'm wondering, when looking only at the copper antennas is the diameter sort of fine tuning to the available signals in the area? Thanks for the video.

Cus we all keep a transformer lying aroundlol

LEXAN is the best plastic for long life and durability. Everyone I know who has a newer camper these days is made on the cheaper side. Word of mouth is the best and most honest information MR.Hop To It. Peace vf

Less than a minute?

Where did you buy the replacement? How much?

The matching transformer is a balun . Balun stands for Balanced to Unbalanced thus the pronunciation is bal un.........No bale ........Good vid.....

thanks so much, poster, and I'll try the copper tubing.

You did a nice job congrats, you saved a ton of money by doing it yourself!
