Another option for copper rods would be aluminum welding electrodes, available at any welding supply company. I found some at various wire gauges and 33 inches long.

I’m also in the UK and have poor reception, I would be interested to see how this works

Well, if I can get hold of the equivalent of #8 copper rods here in the UK, I intend on having a go at building one. I will possibly work towards the PVC pipe design with the wire mesh back screen.

At the moment, my DVB cards report a signal strength which is 1/5th of ‘ideal’ using the biggest Yagi I could lay my hands on.

I will, of course, document any antenna building here on delusionofgrandeur
