Works great. Now I pickup channels from Russia. Next I'm going to get rid of my cellphone and use two cans and a string.

Made this and to my amazement it worked!! However im still not getting great signal strength. Get NBC but abc and fox are to weak to stay on and don't even get CBS. Any tips as how to get even better strength. My strongest signal is only like 60/100

Great antenna!!! Here in Argentina we only have like 7 HD channels, but it really works... It improves the reception I have with the antenna that came with my ISDB TV tuner...

DID NOT WORK.....

Working excellent for me! I used some unpainted wire hangers that I had in the house. I used some electrical tape to insulate the long wires where they crossed. Plugged it in and had hdtv! Nearest station is 60 miles away! o.O I through it up on the top of our old antenna mast and it's even better. Gonna add a reflector to the back too! Thanks so much for this!

can you make it for me..

[artestudent]

Follow the directions. It really works! I used speaker wire for the middle part. I followed his advice and tossed my amplified antenna. Totally worth it!
