I found more channels than I expected in my suburban home. For this set, I actually got more than the 40-mile rated flat HDTV antenna did, which was previously installed.

I did something like the opposite once as a kid. I connected the coax cable that was attached to my TV for cable tv to my stereo (an older Electrolux stereo with turntable and 8-track player) via a 75-300 ohm adapter. I was then able to pick channel 2’s audio at 97.3FM. Oddly enough, I also picked up channel 36 (was MTV at the time through my cable company) at both 88.5 and 107.7FM. I was just 13 years old in the late 80s. It was cool to listen to TV audio that way.

More Elements = Better Reception = More Channels with good quality reception and that's what you get with the "more fancy and expensive" antennas. They put more into what they make and they work better and they are also easier to put up and use in any situation. All that you need is a mounting base pole to put it on.

Window antenna! Thanks for this. I'm lucky that where I live has straight line of site to our areas tv antennas, about 10-12 miles as the seagull flies, up on 2000 ft ridge (I can see them with binoculars). There's some neighbor hedges partially blocking in front of my window but aren't stopping the signal for whatever reason. So have no idea if what I did will work in other situations. Made this antenna and got channels 13-35. Could only get 3 which is NBC, only very rarely for an hour or so on a perfectly clear day. Researched, learned about low VHF needing longer antenna, started running numbers. Then realized the window was aiming the antenna through was aluminum framed, so attached wires from each end of your antenna to separate places on window frame and get channel 3 clearly along with all the others. Surprised and going to make this setup with more solid materials and be done.

I was having trouble getting local channels on just one tv with a simple rabbit ear indoor antenna. I have 3 tv towers located 25 to 26 miles away all in the same direction from my house. My roof is metal and my walls have metal mesh and plaster, so i opted for an outdoor antenna. I made this simple antenna just to get local channels on one tv. I attached it to my chimney about 17' above ground. I now receive 16 local channels with no noise or inteference, so i hooked the output of this antenna to an old un used satellite dish 4 way splitter and i now receive these 16 channels on all 4 tv's. The 3 tv towers were all located in an arc from 325 degrees to 345 degrees so i just rotated the arms perpendicular to the 335 degree line of sight. I taped the arms of this antenna to a fiberglass rod and slid two pieces of black rubber hose on each. i then ran the cable down through a 2' section of 1/2" pvc and glued the top part to the pvc and attached the pipe with small pipe clamps to an anchor.

RG6 is the best coax cable to use, as it minimizes signal loss. Sounds like the building you live in has a master antenna system, or perhaps an in-house cable system. Most areas can pick up some over the air channels, 50 is a very good amount of channels.However some areas can pick up 150+ channels! I only get 3.

I built a dipole antenna tuned to 189 mhz. Worked with a marginal 44% signal. I used a boom and placed the dipole on it with a director 4 3/4" in front of it. Signal was now 54%. I added other director tuned for 189mhz of course. Signal jumped to 63%. Here is the weird part. I then added a reflector about 12" behind the dipole on the boom and the signal went down to 48%. Took it back off and the signal was back to 63%. So I decided to add another director for a total of 3 and again the signal went down to about 52%. Can't understand why adding the director and reflector weaken the received signal. Using the dipole with two directors and no reflector is the best I can do. Signal does go down a few percent during bright sunny days but is very stable. Goes up during the night and when it rains.
@NorthcoasterHobby4 ай бұрын
Strange. I guess go with the two directors. Generally directors are about 5% shorter than the driven element, and reflectors 5% longer than the driven element.
@trainmaster02173 ай бұрын
@@NorthcoasterHobby That's exactly what the directors are. The reflector was just a bit longer BUT they didn't work for some reason. even made it worse. I'm thinking it because of the location of my antenna but I tried all over the yard and the only place I could get a signal was in my garage window. I accidently found the signal after laying the coax on my motorcycle in the garage and a signal came in. The motorcycle was acting like an antenna with the coax touching the frame. I also played with the spacing of the elements to get the best signal. I have a pretty solid 62% signal right now good enough to split it 3 ways where it drops to 60% then. Have to use a 24db preamp. I have a big hill between me and the TV tower so it's needed. The station (channel 9) I'm getting is 27 miles away.

Glad it worked for you. To answer your question I’m not exactly sure why, though coaxial cable itself has an impedance of 75 ohms, whereas using two wires would likely have a higher impedance and need a 75-300 ohm transformer. Also since the cable itself is the antenna I didn’t see a need for a transformer. It has to do with the resistance to the transfer of signal between the elements and the cable.
