Can you post a link for the enhanced (outdoor) version instructions?
Thanks!

Yeah I was going to make one or two of those but then I saw this, and
figured as big as they are if I can't pick up TV stations I can listen
for aliens.
Interestingly enough, a couple of weeks ago one stormy night I
couldn't pick up the local stations but got a strong D signal from a
Charlotte NC station that must be at least 200 miles away. Weird.

I made 2 of the other ones (Makezine) and hung them in the attic.
they work pretty well. I like the price!

Some former science teacher in Maine designed this one from various
sources he says, posted it on instructables and Make highlighted it
(this is an outdoor one, the one you are thinking of is for
indoors). My antenna was a POS anyway, and it got whacked by a tree
branch a coupla weeks ago, so it went from bad to worse. I figured
with a few bucks worth of materials and junk I have laying around I
could make a couple (he ganged 2, I'm gonna try that too) and see if
they did any good out here in the woods.
The hardware cloth is a reflector, and bending the fingers forward
apparently lines them up with the angled reflector. I think
antennas are all magic anyway, but I'll give it a try. When I get
the other one sorted out I'll put them on the roof and see what
happens.

Looks like an enhanced version of the Makezine one. What is the
theory/reason for the hardware cloth on the back? I don't recall
the makezine one calling for the coathanger sections to be bent
forward. Does that help?
