Hmmm... Could you explain why I need two pieces? Why can't I just
have one 3 foot piece of wire?

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

Could someone tell me how to make a single-wire antenna that can pick
up TV channel 5? I just need to know what length is best and what
material to use.

VHF Channel 5 is centered around 79 MHz. So two 3 foot pieces of
aluminum tubing connected in the center to a piece of 75 ohm coax
should do the job.

:-) I am accepting of ignorance, Richard. In a lot of fields and ways, I
am extremely ignorant. What I find hard to accept is someone's alleged
wisdom when they are obviously ignorant. That includes most holier-than-
thou religious people who are somehow magically privy to the ultimate in
wisdom.
