ULTIMATE TV ANTENNA UPGRADE

This is a upgrade I done to the Ultimate TV Antenna..Watch this video and find out how. Danny S Hodges.

[@RayCarin]

Just finished my Ultimate Antenna and it works like a charm! Thanks for all the help. Taking it to Kentucky as reception there is poor.

[@clarkss12]

Been watching most of your antenna videos, thanks a lot for them. Been learning a lot.

[@bobbykay9132]

Thanks a lot Danny, needed some ideas before I started mine. Shout out from Canada brother !!

[@fred306801]

Hey Danny, You used the Ryobi sander to put the flat spot on ends. When I tried this I ended up getting it off center. Just letting people know they need to watch what they are doing. In one of your other video you used a chop saw. An they came out looking perfect. So that is what I did. And you are SO right about the PVC glue. It will set up in a heart beat. So make sure you got it where it needs to be.

[@bobclarie]

Thanks for your great videos.

[@kjaxky]

once I watched the other videos it all came together. great videos Danny. thx

[@whatwasithinking8159]

Thx for the videos!! What do you use for the center beam of the antenna??

[@jdnewsome1247]

Thanks Danny, you sure come up with some good idea's ! I wanted to let you know something too, I hope it is not messing up the reports you are looking at. Sometimes I go back looking for info on something I remember you showing in a video and I'll watch a video part way then jump over to another one part way through or find what I wanted and quite watching. I looked for your Facebook page, ain't found it yet. I had something I wanted to ask you about building antenna's. But don't want to post it on the KZbin video.

[@sneakycamper2099]

Good video Very talented too ! Is there a way to get More Signal from a homemade antenna ????

[@bikemannc]

can you Please do a parts list & include that Non-stop Pvc glu u talked of but didn't state what it is

[@scottthompson1426]

😀 cool antenna

[@DannySHodges]

tks

[@jthonn]

Thanks Danny, I knew you would make one with all PVC eventually. I like the fact that you don't have wood or extra metal to deal with. Screw the reflector on the back and you are set! If I build another one, that is how I will do it. I may do some modifications, they make the hinges like for lawn furniture, and 4 way fittings so I may build the double one using those and make a way to secure it in the direction that is needed. BTW, I am still wondering what your patent is for, and also curious how the Hoverman vs the Ultimate will turn out. My money is on the ultimate!

[@DannySHodges]

oh yeah...lol

[@kjaxky]

I'm curious about the signal strengths too, is there any chance you could build a antenna carrosel or merry-go-round so that multiple antennas can be mounted and rotated to be at the exact same spot, quickly tested and signal strength measured with a digital meter or spectrum anylizer. that way there's no deviation in distance height or Latitude from. each antenna in exactly the same spot.

[@crazy-horsecrazyhorse8543]

Kal Jak, I too have inquired if Danny S Hodges will make or has made an Omni-Directional’ Ultimate Antenna,’ so I believe what you were thinking and the word your should have used is Omni directional. That would receive Digital TV Station signals from 360 degrees. 👍

[@scottythompson940]

did the ulimate antenna work good and how many channels did you get in your area danny

[@harveykortman]

Ahhh, Dublin. I figured you were south of Macon, the GA clay shit I see all day long, up by Athens

[@melissabinary8100]

awesome!

[@DannySHodges]

thank you

[@paulevans4334]

How do you connect it to the tv wire ?

[@midwestfishing9153]

Danny Have you heard about ATSC 3.0 coming out?

[@Cowboysgizmo]

do you have a parts list to make 8 bay

[@austincain2173]

I just got on here to let you know from 65 miles away I get a signal strength of 3 to 5 out of 5 on my uhf stations. I don't get any vhf stations though. Is it because I don't have a reflector?

[@fred306801]

Hey Danny, You need to read this ! @0.25 You are talking about the different sized pipes. 3/4 thin wall and then sliding the 1/2 thick wall into it. The reason to do this is to give the screw something to hold on to, right ? This is where the wiskers go. Every place I went today only had thick wall PVC pipe. So thats what I got. I took the 1/2 thick wall pipe and cut a slit down the side on the table saw. I had to make two passes, once was not enough. Took some plyers and squeezed it and slid it into the the 3/4 stuff. Then took a hammer an slowly tapped it down. It was a tight fit but it worked. This should give the screw more to bite into.

[@DannySHodges]

RIGHT

[@thomasc.pellicer1879]

Thanks Danny i was thing on making mine out of pvc pipe .

[@DannySHodges]

its better for yall...what use i have to buy alot at 1 time

[@mikerobinson3156]

Right on

[@jvhende64]

Danny, what gage copper wire are you using?

[@dcsuperman31]

hey Danny what size wire you using 10 12 8 ?

[@KevinBragdon]

Nice porch!

[@DannySHodges]

thank you..i have more drums on my facebook...Danny S Hodges

[@omni1951]

Hi danny, This new antenna your building with the window framing as the reflector should give you a little more forward gain. I am a ham radio operator and build wire antennas.

[@DannySHodges]

yeah it works good

[@kjaxky]

good job watched video out of order so confusing. good to see someone using proper tools and measurements. way too many youtubers jerry rigging with cheap hand tools

[@DannySHodges]

ITS A MESS AINT IT LOL

[@fred306801]

Hey Danny, At the end of this video you put the 1/2 pipe into the middle of the 3/4 pipes you just put together is that just for strength ? You were using the thin wall stuff. Please read my last post. So far all I have used is thick wall pipe.

[@DannySHodges]

FOR strength

[@sugobamv2947]

Love the accent..... : >)

[@DannySHodges]

TKS

[@flakitoc2605]

hi Danny nice videos .u have a video how to make long range antenna ?

[@DannySHodges]

yeah

[@flakitoc2605]

Danny S Hodges send me a link please

[@KevinBragdon]

More drumming!

[@sightseer2011]

Question. Will a digital tv work in a country that uses analog?

[@DannySHodges]

YEAH

[@jamesdavenport4822]

does it matter if the reflector wire is coated ? I have powder coated wire.

[@DannySHodges]

PROBALLY OK

[@jamesdavenport4822]

Thanks Danny, really enjoy your videos
