This is a antenna that I designed with encouragement from several other designs of antennas (Hovermans, Fractal, and Rabbit Ears). The reason why I combined these antennas together into one project is because all of these antennas had features that other one do not have. Now I have this multi-directional antenna that receives stations of a max. of 75 miles (no joke) we usually get at least 23-25 digital channels (don't forget that each channel usually has at least two or more other stations "sub channels") and 3-7 analog channels which come from Canada because they don't switch to digital until this August (I think).
Please add your input so write comments about what you think.
I will tr to have a detailed video on how to make the antenna up in a few days.
Note: if you use a converter box you will not get the HD experience, also some channels broadcast in standard definition.

  • what is better about this antenna that those 4 bay/hoverman antenna plans you see on youtube?

  • @DosPuppets generally the fractals do a better job at picking up signals at the specific frequencies

  • WOW I SUSCRIBE LIKE

  • whats wrong with your voice or is it the camera?

  • Not pretty but it works. I see you were able to get the VHF Toledo stations (WTOL and WTVG).

  • I haven't had much luck with fractal elements on my antenna although with little fractal elements I have picked up stations from far away but I lose some local stations when I use them. I have plenty of wire I might experiment with your fractal element. I have done quite a bit of experimenting myself. I buy 100 feet of 14 gauge galvanized clothes line wire at Walmart for $4.00. Keep up the good work. Check out my 3 sided antenna if you get a chance.

  • cool antenna man!
