Wanted to make my Coat Hanger HDTV Antenna (www.youtube.com ) able to pick up VHF. By using the guts if my previous antenna (RCA ANT585 Amplified uhf/vhf hdtv antenna) and attaching them methodically to the original ‘coat hanger HDTV antenna’ i was able to make VHF/UHF happen. this is a vid my working antenna. Now i can watch PBS, which in my city is a VHF channel. i know i didn’t explain this very good. sorry. i might make a more in depth video if people want. ****UPDATE**** I have made a much more in depth vid here: www.youtube.com

Many of us invested in outdoor antennas prior to the DTV transition. Prior to the transition, the consensus was that all DTV was to be transmited on UHF only, so UHF antennas became popular. Shortly prior to transition, it was announced that high VHF (7-13) will continue to operate, UHF antennas may have problems recieving those High vhf channels because the smaller UHF dipoles is not tuned to VHF. The new crop of outdoor antennas has both UHF and VHF driven elements. If you have a UHF only antenna or a DB4 coat hanger antenna you may find this mod useful. All it takes is the VHF portion of a cheap rabbit ears antenna, i bougth mine at the dollar store, some scrap wire and some zip ties.
