The sheer size alone offsets anything in the general vicinity. The antenna described here is fairly simple to build, but can contribute greatly to the demise of the decor of any room. The antenna can be built to receive VHF TV or FM stations. Both the inside and outside versions will be described, although both start with the same basic construction. One obtains a coil of TV twin lead from an electronics store, a soldering iron, and some solder.
Twin lead has two wires in it, one on either side.
Strip half an inch of the insulation from both ends of the twin lead. This will expose two wires. Cut one of the sides of the twinlead at the center point, leaving one wire exposed on either side of the center. Strip about half an inch of insulation from each exposed wire. Set this aside for the moment.
