It is simple to build and works great. The Bonus for this is you can sniff the glue and get high while you are building it!!!!!!! "Kidding Just Kidding!" Anyways it is a no brainer and easy to make Just look at the photos and you can see how easy it is... Just remember to use a matching transformer 300 to 75 ohm. You can separate the Antenna sections and give each one a 300 to 75 ohm transformer and then use an Antenna Combiner which will allow a 2 cable to 1 cable setup... Ok now don't laugh at my Modern Art.. My Daughters words were Geeze that damn thing looks Ghetto... I told her You have your locals right? She said yes I told her SHUT UP... Anyways heh... Here it is Remember when building this thing sand the ends of the coat hangers where the screws and washers attach them to the 1 by 2 So it gets a good connection... The actual coat hangers i used from the screw to the tip is 10 inches.... Keep them even and make sure they stay within the Pvc Frame... The 1 by 3/4 by 3/4 tee was used at the base so It isn't flimsy and can support the antenna I Attached it above my existing antenna and clamped it to the pipe with muffler clamps... It works Excellent One thing is for sure My Neighbors think i work for the Cia as I got quite the Eyeball from Passing Motorists.. Anyways Hope you get one together to supplement your Fta Equipment!!! /cp Thought that would be a nice add on |
