Default Re: EMI TV end fed wire antenna.

On 8th February 2007, Ray Cooper wrote, in the thread "The earliest television aerials":

"The 'tilted wire' aerial - in effect, a vertical half-rhombic - could give very good results IF you had enough real-estate to erect one, and IF you could point it in the right direction. Those conditions satisfied, they could be a good candidate for home-construction. "

I have a picture of this arrangement somewhere, taken from an old magazine, but I'm dmned now if I can find it!

What sort of gain would this type of aerial have had on Ch.1?
