A slotted coaxial antenna design that accomplishes simultaneous DTV and NTSC broadcast with minimal tower wind loading, is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the antenna design comprises a VHF slotted coaxial antenna that acts as a framework to house multiple UHF slotted coaxial antennas. The one or more UHF slotted coaxial antennas, which each acts as an UHF outer conductor, and one or more VHF couplers, that surrounds the VHF inner conductor, configures an arrangement such that the UHF antennas and VHF couplers share a common aperture; namely, the VHF antenna. This antenna design allows for high band VHF/UHF broadcast of DTV and NTSC signals while being easily adaptable to existing slotted coaxial antennas.
