turn your splitter into a powerful tv antenna

[@tombeck2792]

Loop the copper wire into the extending antenna hole, then solder it, this gives you a mechanical connection

[@elwoodblue6559]

Using a splitter reduces signal by 3.5 db - 1/2 your signal is lost. You also get losses through impedance mismatch. Typical airwaves antenna z is 300 ohm, CATV equipment is 75 ohm. I would get a better signal by licking my finger and sticking it into my ear.

Might seem like a good idea and 10 points for trying this out, BUT given the 10dB tap loss on the 4 taps, you might have done way better just with folding the shield back and having the inner core exposed, thereby constructing a simple dipole antenna.

This dose not make a multi element antenna if anything it would reduce the signal you would have got just hooking one antenna to the coax with no splitter the signals would not add up they would cancel each other being out of phase add multipath interfearance and a host of other negatives like impedance mismatching etc. Best thing to do with that is turn it upside down and say it's centipede art.

To make this effective, the IN needed a "source" another copper antenna or to be connected to an areal external antenna, and all the TAP needed to be linked (soldered) to the OUT effectively combining all the outputs into a "boosted" single output which will then be connected to the TV.
