In this video from Kevin Loughin (KB9RLW), we see how an old TV rabbit ears can be used as a basic 2 meter antenna.   Here are some comments from Kevin: I love finding new uses for old tech.

When I "junked" an old TV receiver several years ago, I saved the attached "rabbit ears" antenna for possible future use.  I converted the old TV antenna into a simple, free 2 meter dipole antenna just as Kevin Loughin (KB9RLW) did in this video.  All you need are a few basic tools and a little time to make this collapsable, portable antenna.  Make a few alterations and soon you'll have a nice antenna for both home and portable use. Like Kevin, I'm a strong believer is adapting older technology to current ham radio use.  Have fun with this project! Thanks for joining us today. Aloha es 73 de Russ (KH6JRM).
