Coat Hanger Antenna
I build a coat hanger antenna over the weekend to receive over-the-air TV channels. All materials and parts I use are from old stuffs or spare parts. The total cost for the project is $0. The design is based on that described in this file. I use six copper wire coat hangers, 13 screws, 10 washers, one transformer, one Nylon cable clamp, one wood board and two metal fittings. I place the antenna in the attic and connect the cable to the Tivax TV converter box. The antenna brings in total 31 channels. The signal strength for most channels is between 40 and 80.

Hi,
How far away can you pick up with it? What kind of parts do you need to get and how much does each cost? What measurement for the coat hanger and how far a part do they need to be to pick up uhf channels 65 miles and 100 mile ? What do the measurement have to be to pick up the higher vhf channels and what do the measurement need to be to pick up the lower vhf channels 65 miles and 100 mile? Email me back with photos.
Thanks,
Varian
