I like making my own also - so would a few 'nested loop' antennas
cover the tv broadcast band? But there goes the stealth.


Huh? You think a couple brass welding rods in loops are more
noticable than a couple discone antennas mounted base to base? ! And if
you painted them black, they'd be invisible.

Huh back to you - I never said anything about a 'couple' of discones - my
original post was asking whether a discone would be a viable tv antenna. and
I mentioned that I wanted to preserve some degree of stealth as well. Your
suggestion sounds good - just trying to picture it.
That RV antenna is starting to sound good too.
