If I have nothing to do, I will build this new antenna design and mount it inside my attic.
The Gray-Hoverman Antenna For UHF Television Reception - Digital Home Canada |
ASU, did you ever get around to building that DIY antenna. I had the same site bookmarked on my computer. I just got my hands on some old metal coat hangers to work with. I've got reception of some of the channels that I should, but I'm missing Fox completely. I don't know whether it would be resolved with the switch to full power digital transmission or not.
I don't want to go out and spend $90 or more on a larger antenna for my house, but I'm willing to spend an hour or two cobbling together some hangers and spare parts to see if I can't get better reception that way. I'm not likely to get to this project until next weekend, but if I get it up and running, I'll post back with the results.
