I’ve built a few, but haven’t seen this design before, I will try it. Btw, if you put end of wire in a drill and secure other end. Twist a few turns and wire becomes perfectly straight 👍🏽
Would using fractal shapes on this antenna help the weak station Sir ?? This is one impressive antenna, PERIOD !!! Great idea and execution Mr. Hop To It.
Great video. I am going to try this one out myself. I have another idea for a. antenna to build. It is a folded dipole that is oriented horizontally. Then you take the ends of the folded dipole and bend them in a circle to where the ends are separated by only an inch of space. So you end up with a circular folded dipole antenna. This might be a good antenna to give a try. Should yield a multi-directional effect. Just a suggestion. Thanks for all you are doing with your channel. Take care and God bless.
Mrs Hop es un gusto saber ,que ayuda a construir antenas,me gustan sus videos ,tengo 3 tubos de aluminio de 8 milímetros cree usted que sera la misma funcion,si los hago ,espero su respuesta un saludo desde Mexico🤚🇲🇽
El aluminio funcionará bien para una antena, siempre y cuando las longitudes sean correctas para el ancho de banda que intenta recibir. ¡Gracias por ver mi canal!
I'm rual and have vhf and uhf signals with the vhf in town and the others some miles away I've tried several designs and the best is my large stainless steel plate and a bare center core pinched against it with vice grips my neighbors forest doesn't help especially the summer months with the leaves on In Springfield I get 53 digital channels
Would adding an extra three diamonds to the three in this video increase the distance reception of the antenna, or would stacking two three diamonds spaced 3 feet from one another on the mast do the same thing Mr. Hop to It ??? Thanks P.S. have yourself a Happy Thanksgiving Sir too. Peace vf
Hi VF. The total element length and dimensions are based on UHF frequencies that are the most popular . Adding additional elements would alter the bandwidth. I haven't tried stacking this antenna, and plan on experimenting with that. A very Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!
This antenna is designed for the UHF band, but I receive good signals on high VHF, too. There are only two VHF stations in my area (rf 8 and 9) that all of my designs pick up clearly.

Thanks. I've seen that done before but I keep forgetting to try it.
That's easy enough to build, very ingenious. Great video!
Thank you! Cheers!

Hmmm, I haven't played with fractal elements. As always you come up with great ideas, VF
Thank you for the education Sir. Good day too. vf@@mrhoptoit7835
I often wonder if making the active elements from just one wire would make any difference in the antenna gain ?? Thanks Mr. Hop To It.
I have made antennas using either method, and as long as your connections are good, there isn't a measurable difference.
Got it Mr. Hop To It. @@mrhoptoit7835

I've seen sort of similar designs to what you have described. I will put that on my list. Thanks!
Great design.
Glad you like it!
DO you think that stacking two or three layers of diamonds on top of each other increase the channel gain for this antenna Mr. Hop To IT ??
Wow, you always pose great questions! I may have to put that on my list of things to try. As always, thanks!
I just hope you can make a super killer antenna that puts the commercial unit on call. Thanks for your time also Sir. @@mrhoptoit7835
Thank you. Will use on my trailer 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching!

I will try hopefully this week to see if this will work. Thank you and God bless fella too. vf😀@@mrhoptoit7835
Wonder what the signal strength would be if you set this up vertically rather than horizontally?
Check this episode out. ruclips.net/video/eCWesKlX_nY/видео.html
Can this design be mounted vertically so I can hang on the wall indoors?
Yes, but it may not be as multi-directional.
Good job antenna is a good design
Thanks. Its been popular. Another antenna is in the works, so keep watching my channel!
What are you doing for the VHF channels?
This antenna is designed for the UHF band, but I receive good signals on high VHF, too. There are only two VHF stations in my area (rf 8 and 9) that all of my designs pick up clearly.
Boy, Mitsubishi really missed the boat on this idea....
Lol
This is a accidental fractal antenna
Thanks for watching
