"It`s my long time wish to view TV channels of all countries." For simplicity, gain, and bandwidth, a rhombic is hard to beat. Risadvantage is size and it is hard to rotate. Once upon a time, an Australian asked how he coild receive a far away TV station, and I gave him the details of a rhombic in Arnold B. Bailey`s "TV and Other Receiving Antennas". The Aussie built it and reported back that now his screen was illuminated with pictures from the distant station. Eureka! Description is: "Four straight horizontal conductors (sides) forming a diamond. Size at 200 MHz: Two #10 wires each 26 feet long, separated 18 feet at midpoint, overall length 31 feet. Transmission line: 300 ohms balanced but slightly mismatched (twinlead). Resistance at 200 MHz: 600 ohms. Antenna Zo: 600 ohms (redundant specification it appears). Termination resistor at distant station end of antenna: 600 ohms. Gain at 200 MHz: 14.5 dB (or less). Bandwidth at 1 dB down 30%. Height is not specified, but for TV, usually higher is better.
