I actually have an old Channel Master Monitenna but it is very close to the same as a Scantenna.
I have repaired it a few times now and am getting ready to fix it again and I had a thought...
As all I monitor is VHF/UHF (VHF high) why not cut the antenna down for just those frequencies.
I swiped the reinforcement pic and modified it with what I might try and do. Before anyone jumps my case and tells me how stupid I am, note that this is with a 25 year old antenna that is already broken, I am not suggesting that this be done with a new antenna.... and I am asking because I do not know, so yes I am ignorant in this regard, so there I said it myself...
