UHF Antenna
 

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?

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
