Best DIY Indoor Or Outdoor TV Antenna Ever Made 

Thank you sir..That may be the nicest comment I ever had.

Danny, thank you for everything you do. I love you man. You remind me of my brother. I discovered your videos while searching for the best antenna for my area. I'm 80 miles away from Tulsa Ok. I'm attempting to build a double ultimate antenna. I know ill have success because youre a very good teacher. thanks so much. Love your drum and southern channels P.S. as in the words of Slingblade…

LOL thank you brother

LOL thank you brother

Southern Ideas k

Love It! Git er Dun! Thank you for putting in the time and effort to make a video like this! So rare to find a RU-vid video with valuable content like yours. One question... Is there a particular cable you prefer or recommend for connecting the antenna to the TV?

tks for letting us no

Put it back in your pants, dude. For serious.

@@Kube_Dog You are not a very nice person. From out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. So true.

@@Mikael5732 Don't use nice as an excuse to ignore a truth you don't like. And be careful dragging God into your personal views. So true.

You're gorgeous! Are you related to Charlie Pride??

How much did he pay for the reply

Idiots.

@GOD OVER MONEY idiot

@@richardbaumgart2454 Theists are thought addicts via the *Holy Dopamine Ghost* (Dopamine Reward System). Imagine the euphoria experienced by the average person for believing they won a million dollars. Now imagine someone having the same sensations, but being convinced it's a paranormal contact for believing John 3:16. The Holy Dopamine Ghost (Thoughts are addictive): ru-vid.com/group/PLQATeZAnm87BaJjBtM1vMIq_gHRmBq3ie "Genetic and behavioral factors influencing religiously motivated behavior appear related to dopamine metabolism and signaling. Inclination toward religious behavior and motivation has been associated with a polymorphism on the dopamine receptor gene DRD4 (Comings, Gonzales, Saucier, Johnson, & MacMurray, 2000;Sasaki et al., 2013). Acquired disorders of dopamine physiology also show links to religious behaviors." www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5478470/ "Religious and spiritual experiences activate the brain reward circuits in much the same way as love, sex, gambling, drugs and music, report researchers at theUniversity of Utah School of Medicine. The findings will be published Nov. 29 in the journalSocial Neuroscience." unews.utah.edu/this-is-your-brain-on-god/ These neurological processes reinforce neural pathways (bridging literal gaps) in the brain in order to repeat thoughts, and behaviours like energy gathering (eating) along with specie perpetuation (sex). Going from drug addiction to Religion is just a placebo switcharoo (not a miracle). Dopamine in varying levels is also related to creativity, patternicity, making nonsense make sense, and hallucinations (involuntary movements, tactile/feeling embraced, and speaking in tongues are also forms of hallucinations). Also see "Dopamine Hypothesis". Note that Paul was schizophrenic (2 Cor. 12:9), the early church was encouraged to hallucinate (Gal. 3:1-5), and perform glossolalia (1 Cor. 12:10). "Dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline are neurotransmitters that belong to the catecholamine family. Dopamine is produced in the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental regions of the brain, and dopamine alterations are related to schizophrenia (1, 2). Dopaminergic projections are divided into the nigrostriatal, mesolimbic, and mesocortical systems. Impairments in the dopamine system result from dopamine dysfunctions in the substantia nigra, ventral tegmental region, striatum, prefrontal cortex, and hippocampus (3-5). The “original dopamine hypothesis” states that hyperactive dopamine transmission results in schizophrenic symptoms." www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4032934/ "Dopamine In schizophrenia (SCZ), there is evidence that very high levels of dopamine in the limbic system play a major role in emergence of hallucinations and delusions. Antipsychotic medications, which block central dopamine activity, alleviate the hallucinations of psychosis. Drugs with strong dopaminergic effect, such as L-dopa, methylphenidate, bromocriptine, pramipexole and piribedil, may induce hallucinations. D-amphetamine, a direct dopamine agonist, may also induce psychosis and hallucinations." www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2996210/ "Tibetan mystics have long practiced a method to create sentient beings from the power of concentrated thought." www.google.com/amp/s/www.vice.com/amp/en_ca/article/exmqzz/tulpamancy-internet-subculture-892 Mesolimbic System (instinctive ancient part of the brain) overrides the Frontal Cortex (rationalizing modern) building a cognitive wall. Dopamine Enhances Optimism Bias "Here, we show that administration of a drug that enhances dopaminergic function (dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine; L-DOPA) increases an optimism bias. This effect is due to L-DOPA impairing the ability to update belief in response to undesirable information about the future." www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3424419/ Mark 3:28-29 translation: Saying no to the *Holy Dopamine Ghost* is saying no to *imaginationism* addiction. i.imgflip.com/1ydvtk.jpg skepticsannotatedbible.com

tks for the info on that

Amplifiers only benefit the signal if it is above the noise floor of the amplifier, they are used for long cable run line loss or the signal is split to a few receivers. A broad band amp would never have a better noise figure than a tuner, so putting an amplifier right next to a receivers Ant input would not help. Signal to noise ratio is the important part and ATSC has a tolerance for noise. Cable companies do not use ATSC because it takes too much bandwidth they use QAM .

tks brother

THANK YOU

Southern Ideas Your sweetness made me sub too! It's impossible to not support ya! You're welcome.

He is what we call in New Zealand " A TOP BLOKE "

Pp

tks Tim i try hard

That was supposed to be Larry's JOB after all, this is more like Larry the cable guy gone to work for once!

Southern Fried Antennas ;D

This Guy is better'n ol Lawrence!

thank you

Por favor .lo podrás traducir en español .estoy muy sorprendido con ese proyecto .agradecido .

He stole all these designs from google. Hes a fake

Todd, I'm a ham operator also. Just threw up a 20 inverted V dipole and have been working Europe like crazy ! All with a Corsair II. I like this guy. Trial and error. We need him to get his ham license and come up with some new designs!

@@Mikael5732 I agree!!

@@Mikael5732 You must be some sort of an idiot if you did not know that this was not HIS design - but a BIQUAD (UHF) with a simple 1/2 wave dipole for VHF. The biquad is used a lot in UHF/SHF HAM frequencies! NOVICE license, I guess? READ THE ARRL HANDBOOK!!!!

LOL

Hey Danny looks like you get tons of replies so don't know if you'll even see mine but I love your videos, your accent but most of all your attitude and demeanor, you seem to be a very nice guy and know what you're talking about, I'm gonna build that antenna. Let you know how it turns out, thanks for the info and have a good day sir.

Haha I was thinking this the other day.

Boomhauser from King of the Hill.

Except that Larry the cable guys accent is FAKE

LOL

all right give me a couple days..tks

Thanks for the video. Made a few myself and one design worked better than any other and I gave it away. I figured the next one would be just as good but could never duplicate the success of that one antenna. Don't know if it was the wire, mesurements or what but I'm still trying. The design with wire coat hangers worked fine but I keep trying to get more distant stations. Never had luck using two antennas pointed in I different directions. Bottom line, its fun trying to make one better.

Careful using two antennae hooked together you can get "Ghosting" double signal overriding lose your reception altogether. good luck. built one of these just for fun works great

makes ya feel good dont it

You mean TV used to be free?

Richard Goldman still is

Yeah, and you get to watch the local news, Mr. Rogers and re-runs of Matlock. Congratulations.

Kube Dog a lot more than that nowadays. Ota is a whole better than it use to be. Better than dish. And free.

Can you build me one?

Boosters are not worth the material that they are made of. Actually its all marketing.

i read comments but cant answer all of them ...thank you very much

Hey there, did it work?

Mehdi B. M

you most likely made a "bowtie" antenna. it looks quite similar. This is NOT a bowtie. This is a biquad.

thank you

Why VHF? Hasn't all the new digital gone to UHF? Normally height is more important that gain. That being the case I built a fan dipole with 3 elements for my camper so I could string it up a tree and it works great here in Texarkana. I forget how many stations but was 5-6. We went camping up in the Ozarks I strung it up 15ft and zero! But its a deep valley where we go camping. I am thinking of building a Slim Jim next. This way I can pull it higher in the tree and it has more gain.

@@tonymoore205 YES BUT NO. I THINK THE AMP IS IN THE WAY

WW5RM You are partially right. Most Dallas stations have changed to UHF but Ch8 (ABC - WFAA) and one other are still in VHF

@@brentjohnson6654 I thought it was a nationwide move forced by the government that everything go digital and move to UHF. Back when they gave the converter boxes away around 2006-2008 or so.

@@WW5RM it was. FCC allocates the frequencies.
