This weekend I decided to do an antenna project. I have over the air TV, no cable. I've been using a big, old style antenna for a few years and it's been doing well, but wondered if I could get more channels. Everything is in my attic.
I built one from watching youtube videos using wire, a board, screws, washers, and a simple transformer, all in all about $10 worth of materials, all available at Lowes.
I built it and after some tweaking and covering a piece of cardboard with aluminum foil, I am now able to get channels broadcasting from 2 different directions! I have picked up 7 new stations and seems like I've been able to make PBS more stable. No amplifiers just wire arranged just so, pretty cool!
It's been a delightfully nerdy weekend.
