Wanted to make my Coat Hanger HDTV Antenna (www.youtube.com ) able to pick up VHF. By using the guts if my previous antenna (RCA ANT585 Amplified uhf/vhf hdtv antenna) and attaching them methodically to the original ‘coat hanger HDTV antenna’ i was able to make VHF/UHF happen. this is a vid my working antenna. Now i can watch PBS, which in my city is a VHF channel. i know i didn’t explain this very good. sorry. i might make a more in depth video if people want. ****UPDATE**** I have made a much more in depth vid here: www.youtube.com
This is a how to video for building a HDTV antenna rhat will beat the coathanger design, and most commercial antennas, for that matter. This antenna can easily be made with tools you mat already have on hand. All of the materials can be picked up at the local home center with the possible exception of the balun (300 to 75 ohm transformer). Sometimes that item is unavailable, but they’re supposed to stock it. Same for Wal-Mart, and K-Mart.
