Maximizing Gain for a 30-Year Old VHF Antenna for RTCN Chorągwica - Channel 7 Reception

Hello!
Due to the appearance of additional channels on the VHF, I would like to receive them. I found in the attic probably with a 30-year antenna, most likely for the VHF band. Due to the fact that I live about 80 km from the transmitter I need an antenna with a large profit. I bought a balun for the antenna (picture in the attachment). I am asking for advice on how to increase its profit (it can extend, maybe an amplifier) and whether the dimensions are appropriate. I apologize in advance for naming, but I have a very basic knowledge on this subject. Thanks for the help! Attachments of the antenna in the attachments.
Dipol (width) 64 cm
Dipol (height) 6 cm
Distance of the first crosshead from the second 27 cm
The distance from the dipole to the 30 cm reflector
The distance between the crossbeams 40 cm
The width of the reflector arms 51 and 56 cm
The width of the first crossbar is 74 cm
PS: I am interested in receiving from RTCN Chorągwica - channel 7 191.5 MHz.

Farciarz, others have scraped away and now they have to buy!
The antenna is poorly assembled. It can be like this:



Channel 12.

Are there any dimensions? Because I was looking on the internet and found only on UHF. And how profitable at such a distance? I will add that I put it in the room, I made a manual search and found something, but unfortunately you could not see anything

I suggest this one because it's a bit small. VHF CA-RTV 6

It seems to me that the dipole is attached correctly, because there are factory holes. It is possible that it was longer. I can ask for dimensions because nowhere on the forum and on the internet I can not find (only UHF). Thank you for your help

The antenna is evidently complex, incomplete and carries traces of transformation - use the proposal kol.Ledy of this you will not build anything for the distance you give, because the terrain is difficult

What do you think about the antenna design from this site http://gumestaw.blogspot.com/2013/03/antena-dvb-t.html of course with dimensions adjusted to 191.5 MHz. And does the thickness of the elements have a large impact on reception?

I also recommend it. Well done and works best with those I tested.
Jedyny mankament is the connector symetryzator; /
The compression connector does not go well into the can, i.e. you need to seal additionally. The eraser in the set is only suitable for the F screwed.

I reported it in the company and wonder if it will improve ?!

Well, to work - you can see self-denial and desire and so build and notify of results - good luck

I think the author has a little practice on concentric cables

Yeah, in Krakow libraries the book by J. Batora is!

The author of the practice does not have, but he was inspired by an accidentally found old antenna somewhere in the attic - he wants to build the antenna he gains knowledge and practice - if he was comfortable he would not only bother to buy an antenna in the net or shop - he found the material on the net and something act at the same time learning - I support

Dimensions of antennas for self-made can be taken from the guides: Bieńkowski, Bator or Kapczyński about which in the link below:

It was not about this author, but about the author of the copper UHF antenna project

I know what the author of the topic found on the net and I know that other known sources of knowledge were given in the field of building antennas - the meaning of my post was such that it is glorious that a man has the willingness and enthusiasm to independently perform the antenna based on any source because he will learn a lot and will expand the circle of hobbyists in this field

It should only be mentioned that the Flagship gives MUX8 in VERTICAL POLICY (unlike TVP1 in analogue at 10), the antenna should be installed in the same polarization.
In the case of CA-RTV6, the antenna must be attached to the side boom (in the center of gravity), the "back" mount is unrealistic for vertical polarization.

I decided to build a new antenna. Thank you for all the help.
