Coat Hanger Antenna

I get PBS, and I am happy.



I recently turned my cable service off since we don't watch too much TV. The only down side was the trouble in picking up over-the -air stations. To resolve this, I decided to build a Coat Hanger Antenna. With Matt's help, it only took 30min or so to complete.

For supplies I spent less than $10. Here is a part list:

6 hangers - free from local cleaner
10 #6 3/4 screws - $0.98
20 #6 washers - $0.98
1 piece of 100 grit sand paper - $0.60
1 matching transformer - $5.50
a 1"x4"x30" board - $0.51

Total: $8.57
