what kind of antenna?

Nov 12, 2004 2 Replies

In general, if anyone knows, what type of antenna is required to pull in a clear color picture on tv channel 2?



I am hoping to be able to use a small portable antenna either a telescoping rod type if I can find one that is long enough (so far, the longest I have found is about 5 feet max, could I tape them together for longer length?)



Anyone have any suggestions as to what type of antenna I could use that would be portable, carried in a briefcase?


I forgot to mention, the signal strength should be good since the area I would be in is only a mile or so away from where the transmitting tower is.

Buy one of those simple twin lead folded dipoles. Roll it up and put it in your pocket when not in use, Pin it to a wall broadside to the signal when in use.

Casts about a dollar (at the 99cent store)
