I've put together one of these DIY UHF Aerials. It's in the design of a grid aerial, made using some old coathangers, a 3' strip of pine, some cardboard and foil and some screws with washers! Wouldn't be so great for outdoor use, but it works a treat in the loft   Next up........a foil satellite dish  | ||

Very nice....where did you get the design criteria from? Good job it is in the loft, the cat will not be able to curl up on it

Someone bought a real one and got all the dimensions, so I followed those. | ||
