TV is horizontal polarization

If your friend is after a certain channel , a simple 3 or more element yagi
can be made out of metal closehangers and peice of wood

a groundplane will work, but you might not get good results

Hi all!

my excuses if this is kinda of topic but allow me to ask you experts this
question.

Last week, a friend asked if I could fix him up with a "portable" antenna
for TV reception. He actually wants a portable antenna to use with his
portable computer, which contains a UHF receiver.

I already had this idea of making a groundplane receiving antenna out of a
connector (N-connector) and cutting the elements down to the exact size
for 600 Mhz but this seems a stupid idea because the antenna is not solid
at all!

Does any of you have any suggestions?
