Hi I am new to this form and I am wanting to build one of these antennas I have plenty of coat hangers to use and I wonder will this work about as good as copper tube or aluminum tube for a gray hoverman antenna if not is there another one that would work better that you know of ? I am thinking I will have to build one for my UHF and Hi-VHF channels which I have these channels 7,15,21,26 and then I think I will have to build another one for the local channel 2 and since I would have to build another antenna for that channel does anyone know how long of a wire I would have to use to get in channel 2 good or a free program that I could use to create an antenna for channel 2 ?
