[killick]

Following advise received on my previous thread i am now building an basic dipole antenna for the tv on my boat.will a reflector and director rod make any significant difference in the effectivity?

Yes.
Higher gain but greater directivity

The basic dipole might be too limiting in range . You may need the reflector and director.
