Default TV Aerial Experiment

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?

Well I finally got a few minutes to spare and made one. Didnt have
time to measure an existing one, so just vaguely guessed. It works,
albeit rather badly. Picture is quite a lot better than it was with
no
gain though, so there must be a handful of dB there. Unfortunately
me camera's broke though.
