DIY Happy Wanderer

[xcvator]

Several years ago there was a thread describing a diy tv antenae very similar to a "happy wanderer" system made with pvc tubing and copper wires, I've done a bit of a search for it but no luck, if anybody can remember the thread or can recall how it was done, please let me know

They are basically two lengths of alloy solid bar 10mm dia each fitted inside lengths of pvc pipe with a T fitting joining them. the balum is held in place and connected to the two alloy sections by a self tapper through the pvc and into the alloy. I'll measure it up if you would like .
Never had much luck in poor reception areas with it. Last trip down to Busselton , couldnt pick up any stations and ended up getting a caravan one from bunnings which came with an amp with a signal strength meter on it.  lot easier to set antenna up with the lights to guide by.  Its built a lot stronger than a house one.
