Wow I believe I could make me an antenna, it is somewhat tedious to build but you pretty much explained it enough to do it without messing up. Great video! Thanks
Thanks for the great video lessons. I have made your Tritenna but have modified it slightly to suit my needs.I have a boat on Lake Macquarie, near Newcastle, NSW,Aiustralia and have found difficulty with TV reception with the swinging at times on anchor. What I have changed is the angle of the arms to be at 45 deg to each other so that when the boat swings around through 90 deg, I should have reception at all times. I will set up the middle arm pointing to the transmitter I have tried this mod on dry land and it makes no difference which angle I am facing, good reception right round the circle, no glitches or picelation at all.!!! I will be on the water again soon to test properly but I think this antenna should fix my problem. Thanks for the great idea.
Would your antenna get a higher gain if each hoop was connected individually ??? Keep on making videos fella. I enjoy your direction of logic . Hope you make another improvement on the omnidirectional reflector antenna for longer distance and higher gain. Good work Sir and thanks.
I made and tested several forms of this antenna before I did this episode. A few were wired as you suggested. There was no noticable gain improvement, and it was much more difficult to build, so I settled on this as the final design.
Thank you for letting me know Sir. I am thinking about making me one also. Just have to make up my mind which direction I will follow. Job well done Sir. @@mrhoptoit7835
That's difficult to judge as each location may be different based on geography, transmitter power, terrestrial interference, etc. Un-amplified, I regularly get good signals with this antenna within 35 miles of the stations. Thanks for watching.
HELLO MHTI, would increasing the number of hoops to 6 instead of 3 increase which is used here strengthen the signal gain for TV reception ?? Thank you for your great channel which helps the average person become a antenna engineer in no time at all.
What would make this antenna get stronger reception MHTI ?? Stack an identical antenna on each other or add more hoops for a total number of 6 ??? Thanks, vf
@@mrhoptoit7835 Fella, I look forward to what you come up with. I am staying tuned to your channel. I bet your wife would not like to see me as a neighbor as we both would drive her crazy with our antenna lingo...
I tried making but haven't used it so far. I used 1/4 inch copper tubbingmaking a 26in circle, with a 1/2 inch space between the ends, added a transformer, and now it waiting to be put up. Do you think it will work?
Could you make this antenna with shorter antenna arms? You cut yours at 7 inches each. I am needing to make this antenna that can easily be broken down and packed in a suit case. Sound the smaller and lighter, the better
I haven't tried with any shorter arms, as 7 inches worked well for me during testing, so I don't know. Sounds like you have an interesting concept. Good luck.
Hi again, I have tested this antenna on the boat with very satisfactory results. I was also wondering if I should add a couple more arm on it to cover the full 360 degrees circle. Would this work as well as the circle aerial.? your thoughts please.
The three elements usually do a good job pulling in signals from 360 degrees. If you want to try more element arms, I'm not sure of the results. This antenna normally gets better reception than the hoop antenna.

Go for it!

Great mod for your specific needs! I hope it works well for you. Thanks for letting me know, and thanks for watching my channel.
Just a short note, I forgot to mention that I used household power wire 3mm twisted copper for my aerial.
Thanks for the details
This will be something for me to do. Right after I finish a few things.
I'd love to see you post the build!

Good info thanks
No problem 👍
What is the range to get the tv channels? Is it 20 miles or is it closer to 60 miles.

Ahh, VF, all I can say is keep watching my channel😉
@@mrhoptoit7835 I love your channel Sir.
How about making this antenna with six hoops instead of three ??? What do you think MHTI ? Thanks fella too. vf 😀😀😀😀
Hi VF. I'm actually developing an antenna based on that. Keep watching!
YOU ARE THE MAN MHTI !!!!@@mrhoptoit7835

VF, testing on both is underway....
@@mrhoptoit7835 Fella, I look forward to what you come up with. I am staying tuned to your channel. I bet your wife would not like to see me as a neighbor as we both would drive her crazy with our antenna lingo...
LOL!
ARE even number or odd number tenna have more of a potential for stronger TV reception MHTI ?? Thanks VF
It just depends on the antenna design
@@mrhoptoit7835 Thanks MHTI.
So electrically these are wired in series, right?
Yes
I tried making but haven't used it so far. I used 1/4 inch copper tubbingmaking a 26in circle, with a 1/2 inch space between the ends, added a transformer, and now it waiting to be put up. Do you think it will work?
Yes, that should receive TV signals.
Will be trying it tomorrow. @@mrhoptoit7835
