TV Signal Amplifier - Part II

TV Signal comes by a coaxial cable, this way, there are 2 wires...

The signal from the antenna is applied to the input of the circuit and through C5 is fed to the base of the transistor.

I can see where the C5 is, but where is the d**n input??
Is it the nr. 4 and 5???

And what about the output???? Is it the nr. 1, 2, 3 or 6???

This schematic is well drawn, but without some important information...

Tks in advance,
Christiano.

Hi Christiano,
This simple TV amplifier is designed to amplify low-level antenna signals. It will probably be overloaded if there is an FM or TV station nearby. The overloading will cause severe interference on all channels.
The article's text says to connect a 9V battery to terminal 2 (-) and 3 (+). The remaining terminals are as follows:
4: input, hot
5: input, shield
1: output, hot
6: output, shield.

Just for the record...

The HOT is the inner copper cable
and the SHIELD is the outer silver twisted wires,

right???

That's correct.
Please let us know how well it works.
