How Do You Make A Non-Rotary TV Antenna?
If you live in a remote location where you can only access television signals from a single broadcast station, you might be looking for a way to have access to more channels. A rotary television antenna is an unnecessary expense; a fixed-mount antenna is enough to give you hours of viewing pleasure, and can be made without a huge amount of effort. Cut a piece of plywood into a 30-inch-by-16-inch board. Wrap the board twice with aluminum foil. Seal with duct tape, black electric tape or any other non-metallic tape.

Place the pole on top of the board so that it runs down the middle of the board; hammer roofing tiles to attach the board to the pole. Cut the heads off four coat hangers.
