Help! Found Antenna in Attic and Not Sure What I Have.

[modog]

My husband crawled up into our attic today and found what we think to be a Ham Radio antenna. The man that lived here was notorious for it namely for non-fatallyelectrocuting himself. Anyway, my question is: How do I identify what I have? I see no markings on the large piece. Is it a kit? There are some images here: Flickr: Greenview Lane's Photostream

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance,

Monique

TV antennas. Not ham.

Yep, typical "Rabbit ear" style antennas used for over the air tv.

Make anyone feel old though? I will admit though that I have an adjustable rabbit ear mounted on my wall into my scanner, allowing me to adjust from 70 cm to 6m. Wouldn't transmit on it, but does make a decentish dipole.

He survived, huh? Guess he didn't just have the ears, he must have had the foot, too.

They will work fairly well on a scanner!

"Guess he didn't just have the ears, he must have had the foot, too."

And the rabbit will never forgive him.

Gee, thanks for that vote of confidence! I've been a ham radio enthusiast for decades. I never had any idea that we could be regarded as "notorious."
Strange? Yes.
Geeky? Sure.
Helpful? Maybe.

But never "Notorious." Until now.

Wasn't there a Rap artist named Notorious H.A.M.?

Infamous, diabolical, nefarious, abominable, hideous, despicable, insufferable... ANYTHING but notorious!
