Rabbit's ears as drivenelement in Yagi?
 

Has anyone experimented with adding directors and a reflector to a TV
VHF rabbit's ears or a Terk TV5 amplified dipole?

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it has been tried with rabbit
ears, but you would;
(1) have to adjust element lengths for each change of channel, and
(2) have to have lots of room on top of your TV set -- especially if the direction of
the
station is not ideal for your room!

On the higher channels it might not
be too bad! In addition, if you used a rotor you might end up gaussing up the screen
beyone the point of degaussing! :-)
