Lets be silly. Take a commercial yagi TV aerial, take a strip of
cardboard, and make a full size copy of the layout using bits of 2.5mm
T&E cable for the elements, and the cardboard to replace the spine.

How well would it work?

I remember making a horizontal yagi to receive RTÉ in Liverpool
on channel 7 back in the sixties.

I'm sure I got the dimensions from Practical Television.

It only worked in the summer the opening season.

That's tropo not pub opening.
