Why do you suddenly get no signal with rabbit ears antenna?
JennyCox
The rabbit antenna needs to be turned the right direction and have the two elements spread to collect enough RF signal.
Powered antennas are best in some cases, that is ones that plug in to the ac wall socket.
Also check the cable connection into the tv set antenna connector.

Go to Radio shack and ask. I'm not sure what it's called, but a little device that one end attaches to the two screws for the rabbit ears on the TV and the other end you plug a coaxial cable that will enable you to plug into a VCR or converter box
Can one build a simple homemade TV antenna out of twisted wire?
You can make a DB4 Digital TV Antenna out of a piece of wood and wire coat hangers. It works great and is very simple to make. It works better than rabbit ears! A free step by step tutorial can be found by using the link below. I have made 2 of them and they work great.A simple yagi antenna can be made out of wire. Its impedance would be 300 ohms and this would have to be changed to 72 ohms to match the input of the TV set. This is done with a balun. Also the antenna should match the frequency that the channel you want to watch, this is done by 1/4 wavelengths.You can always make one out of wire. It may not be (won't be) perfect, but perfection is not the goal. Functionality is. Simplicity is important. Depending on the wire you have, just do some experimenting to get something that work. You can rig up some "rabbit ears" or just try a simple "T" and see what happens. Impedances will not match, and lengths of the elements won't be spot on, but if you turn on your set and "play" with the thing, you'll get something that should allow you to at least watch some TV. What will be critical is which way the elements are oriented. You'll see big differences if you're holding the antenna and turning slowly around to reorient it; there will be one "best" direction, and one "worst" one. As long as your set is working properly and all you are doing is attaching some wire to the antenna jack, sticking it out into the air, and nothing else, you won't get electrocuted nor will you damage your set. Just be careful not to "mess up" your input jack on the unit. There are one or two spring loaded contacts in there to make contact with the center conductor on a piece of coaxial cable. Avoid jamming anything much thicker (and too long) into that type "F" connector (antenna connection) on the TV's back side.
Why was the Duchess sentenced to execution in Alice in Wonderland?
The Duchess was sentenced to death for boxing the Queen of Hearts' ears.`It's--it's a very fine day!' said a timid voice at her side. She was walking by the White Rabbit, who was peeping anxiously into her face.`Very,' said Alice: `--where's the Duchess?'`Hush! Hush!' said the Rabbit in a low, hurried tone. He looked anxiously over his shoulder as he spoke, and then raised himself upon tiptoe, put his mouth close to her ear, and whispered `She's under sentence of execution.'`What for?' said Alice.`Did you say "What a pity!"?' the Rabbit asked.`No, I didn't,' said Alice: `I don't think it's at all a pity. I said "What for?"'`She boxed the Queen's ears--' the Rabbit began. Alice gave a little scream of laughter.

Can you use a tv rabbit ears antenna to transmit on standard FM?
I easily transmit more than 10 miles from a hill top with 5 watts and a pair of rabbit ears as an antenna measured for the right frequency. Signal is Clear and definitely usable. Of course, I can't tell you who I am or where I live, since doing that on standard FM is totally illegal without a license, and the FCC can fine me or imprison me if they catch me at it. But my rig sure gets out great with those rabbit ears ! Armchair copy. Q-5, S-9. Woo-hoo.
