Thank you all for your comments. So happy that I did not connect a radio to it.  I appreciate the feedback.  Regards, Tarek   Sent from my iPhone On Jan 24, 2024, at 21:50, Robert Polinski via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote:  That is a Channel Master TV antenna. Do not hook to your ham radio and transmit. Bad things will happen. The small end should be pointed to the antenna farm in southwest Houston. You will pick up 25-51 channels on your TV. TV must be set to receive local stations and you will have to do an channel scan. Unless you are near the stations, the antenna works much better outside. Antennas mounted in the attic seldom work well.

Hi All,   While inspecting the attic for antenna option I noticed this existing antenna that was left over from previous owner.  Can anyone tell me what is it? How to test? Should I hook a radio directly to try and get out might that damage the radio without know what it is? Thank you for your input.    I am attaching a picture and a video.     Many thanks  Tarek (KJ5DMN)   Sent from my iPhone   ________________________________________________ Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club BVARC mailing list BVARC@bvarc.org http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org Publicly available archives are available here: https://www.mail-archive.com/bvarc@bvarc.org/
