Television receiving antenna. They were installed in the attic to preserve from weather and also to prevent this "ugly" thing from being seen from the street.
It is a Yagi or perhaps Yagi-Uda. You can see the matching transformer, known as a balun connected between the coax, 75 ohms, and the antenna terminals, 300 ohms. I would not transmit into it just for a test, but do know that it is for the obsolete television channels 2 through 13, which are VHF. It may be possible to modify it for VHF use, however, and I would also guess that the small end was pointed in the direction of the Dewalt antenna farm. Looks to be in good shape, by the way. 73, John, KI5HOC On Wed, Jan 24, 2024 at 8:19 AM Tarek Amine via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote: > Second attempt.
