Update:
I've made 3 variations of this Antenna so far: 1) The coat hanger version as pictured in the first post 2) The Mcclap larger design on a 2x6 piece of wood (made because I was told the design was better) 3) The Mcclap larger design on a 0.25x1.5 piece of wood (made because I was told the 2x6 was too bulky and blocking stations) End results: They ALL pull the same strength for my particular location. So IMO build what you can and don't get hung up on the details. |

Do you really need 16 of the whiskers ? Wouldn't 2 work just the same ?
All of the HD antennas I have seen, have this same layout but they never explain why you need so many hangers - I thought maybe because they are used in rural areas. Is there a science as to why they are in Vs and criss-crossed ? |

I built this one (fractal aluminum foil antenna) a few days ago and its working great. Only thing I had to buy was the RCA matching transformer (found it for under $3 on ebay):
