- Grab an iron coat hanger, preferably with bendable hooks. Ensure it isn’t rusted or corroded and has no paint or gloss. Take a pair of wire cutters, and slice the hook off the hanger.
- Cut the straightened wire into eight equal portions. Ensure that they are at least 14 to 15 inches long. If you’re running short, you can slice up another hook from a hanger and compensate for the deficit.
- Bring out a board of size 1×4, and cut it to 36 inches. You can do this with any tool, nearly slicing a sturdy board. Use a scale, a measuring tape, and a pencil, and start marking points at an interval of 5 inches on both the left-end tight edges.
- Place the shaped wires on each of the points you marked on the cardboard so that the hands of each wire face outward. Use a ring washer to secure the wires on the board, so it doesn’t lose its position when you pick it up or move it.
- Gather your materials. The first step in building your omnidirectional TV antenna is to gather all the materials you will need for the project. Make sure you have the following items
- Cut the copper wire. Now that you have gathered all the materials, it’s time to cut the copper wire for your omnidirectional TV antenna. Follow these steps to ensure the wire is cut to the appropriate length
- Create the antenna reflector. After cutting the copper wire, the next step in building your omnidirectional TV antenna is to create the antenna reflector.
- Attach the coaxial cable connector. Attaching the coaxial cable connector is a crucial step in connecting your omnidirectional TV antenna to your TV or set-top box.
- Cut the hooks off of each coat hanger with the wire cutters. Using the pliers, bend each of the coat hangers into straight wires, so they are perfectly straight.
- Measure and cut the coat hanger wires into eight wires that measure 14 inches long. Take each of the 14 inch wires and bend them with the pliers into the shape of a V so each side of the V is seven inches long.
- Cut the 1 x 4 board to 36 inches using the saw. Lay the cut board, down flat on the table and label the one end as the top.
- Measure down from the top end of the board (mast), and make a pencil mark at the 5, 10, 15, and 20 inch measurements. Make the pencil marks about one inch from the left edge of the board.
