@starcar1980 It does not, but you can easily add a dipole (rabbit ears to it and be able to pick them up. That's my next addition

[Dano853]

I'm curious as to the importance of the specific dimensions...will a larger antenna add more angles/waves or would you jsut increase dimesions on everything respectively?

[LaneVid]

@Dano853 There is such thing as a dual grey-hoverman antenna if I remember correctly. I think you just build two of them and connect them via some copper. Not too sure about that, but I vaguely remember reading that. Let me know how it goes if you're able to make something bigger, and thanks for watching! Would love to have you as a subscriber if you haven't subbed yet!

Do you know the range? as in how far away is the furthest Tv station located from you? Looks like a cool DYI project!

[LaneVid]

@ImTheDaveman Sorry I do not know the range.

[thatztitz]

has weather been a factor?

[LaneVid]

@thatztitz when it rains it gets a little digitized

Lol, that's about some Sanford &Son looking crap (no offense). I live in OK. How does it do in high winds?

THIS ANTENNA IS AMAZING i made this in an hour, i had a couple issues with a couple parts.

it picks up most of the channels i watch except ion ion life and channel 5-1 and 5-2 and 13-1 13-2 so yeah i mean and it doesnt get fuzzy its soo much better than the ones ive bought, even when i have meshed them together

[sonofpineer]

[starcar1980]

Will this also pick up High VHF channels (7-13)?

[sirsean1227]

So I made this thing and only get the Jesus channel. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

[ticokaradepicha]
