tv antenna for base antenna

[crazytruker]

He might be thinking swr means signal while receiving. Therefore low would be correct. Smoke on the water... fire in the sky....

low swr on a tv antenna,,say it aint so,,say it aint so...why did i spend 200 on my beam whin i could have used my tv antenna... why do i do this to myself...

Hell, maybe I'll upgrade from my homemade Yagi made from PVC pipe and 1" measuring tape!

I'm sure it (converting a TV antenna)could be done but it would require far more math and modifications than would be practical. BTW, I did actually build a Yagi style from PVC and measuring tape for dog tracking 160-225MHz that works great (receive only!) I was able to pickup and get an accurate bearing of an emitter more than 50 miles away( local weather broadcast).

He must be using a 50ft extension cord for feedline that's
the only way you can get your swr's down on a tv antenna.

Is there much CB radio traffic in Clarksville these days? I grew up there. Channel 12 was hopping in the late 80s/early 90s. What channel is everyone on now?
