I found this old log periodic antenna that I assume was from a TV. Could I, or how would I, use this on the amateur radio bands? My main focus would be VHF, with UHF being secondary and HF would also be nice. I'd like to keep it as cheap as possible.

enter image description here

Largest: 4' 5" (134.62 cm) - seems to be electrically connected to form a 8' 10" element?

smallest: 5" (12.7 cm) (unfolds to be parallel with another 5" element)

"Other" smallest: 6" (15.24 cm) (by itself)

Use (TV?) Log-Periodic antenna for VHF
