For channel 3, 42 inches per leg. Formula: divide center frequency of television channel by 468 divided by 2 x 12 to get length of each leg in inches. Use mfj-259 to fine tune. If not available shorten antenna by about an inch in general. This method can be used to make a budget antenna for just about any transmitter. I have made CB and 10/20meter antennas that work fairly well using this method.
