How to make a HDTV Antenna Homemade out of PVC tubing HD

[justamandawg]

I have made one of these about 4 years ago, it was an 8 bay design and used simple replacement stainless steel grille grates $1 or so each at the dollar stores etc., and you will need one grate for each set of bowties!! Got about 50% better reception with that added!!

Can it be scaled to work in wifi?If so what is the k=?

[inotnad]

@desenxuxator Better to try the fractal antenna design...it can be scaled down and has a broader range.

I just finished making a Fractal Antenna.

Works better than the Coat Hanger design.

I use 6/32 machine screws.

What kind or size bolts or screws/washers are you using here? I'm thinkin of trying to make a smaller version of this one here out of 34 " pvc , sorta similar to jwwm2's version but without the lumber.

Very nice , may have to try this.
