Tv Antennas and Reception
Wow you are doing very well. And all the connections are soldered , the conections will last a long time out in the weather. Having no reflector , the antenna receives 2 directions. As you have figured out by now , a reflector makes the antenna 1 directional and increases the reception in the 1 direction. And reduces reception from behind the reflector. The antenna with out the reflector receives from 2 directions and the antenna gain is less , but has the advantage of receiving 2 directions. Antennas work simlar to a light bulb. A bare light bulb sends out light all directions , a light with a reflector , reflects more of the light in one direction and this makes the light stronger.
