The antenna Alan describes is an external antenna, made to be installed outside the home.

If you could find someone who has one, perhaps you might be able to duplicate it?

These crop up on eBay from time to time - look for the "Philco High Efficiency Aerial." They are museum pieces if still in their original boxes, though; and do not deserve to be installed outdoors and put to use, in my opinion.

A better solution would be to string a longwire antenna outside your home; that is, unless you live in one of those subdivisions with a "homeowners' association" and all of their restrictive rules which will not allow you to do so. If so...sorry for your bad luck. In this case, an alternative would be to string some sort of longwire inside the attic of your home, as long as your home does not have aluminum siding!
