Just about any kind of un-insualted wire will work. I made one using
wire out of pieces of romex left laying around a job site.
This antenna is mostly for UHF reception. With some channels now
going to upper VHF it may not be suitable for some areas.

You don't need a clothes hanger!
Monster has a new 4 gauge platinum plated 36.4928384" trapezoidal/elliptical
unit.
It's diagonal aperture wavelength spectrum is exactly .00000000000001 of the
distance from the earth to the sun.
It is modestly priced at $1098

That's pretty much the same one I was talking about in another thread.
The one I saw had a plywood-and-foil reflector behind it, thus improving
the directionality and therefore the gain.

Me, and anyone who uses any of the cleaners in my area. They return the
cleaned clothes on hangars. Wire hangers. I have a closet full of them.
