So the reflector is for VHF reception? What's the difference between using aluminum wire or 12 gauge copper house wire? I now have my homemade antenna leaning against the house to get the ION channels & the big antenna is used to pick up 1 UHF channel. But my big antenna will pick up the ION...

Interesting. I didn't have enough 10 gauge copper so I stripped some 12 gauge indoor house wire. Not thinking it would really work, I grabbed a piece of 1X3X2' long cedar this afternoon & built my home made antenna in about an hour & a half. The whole thing is about 2 feet long & about 17...

I bought my antenna about 2 years ago & I really think I bought the wrong one. I haven't had much time to build the "internet antenna" but I did talk to Radio Shack & they showed me the one I should have gotten. It looks like a Grey-Hoverman. It looks nothing like what I currently have. They...

I guess I could gamble on a pre-amp. I never gave it much thought.

Sorry Iceberg, I didn't see your post until now. I recently checked 4,5 & 7 & were reported to be in the UHF range. Channel 13 did show to be in the VHF range. I'll double check.

The 3 stations I really want are 45 miles north & broadcast in the UHF range even though they're known as 4, 5 and 7. The 1 channel I do get is broadcasted in the VHF range. There's a lot of hills between me & them and I think that has to be the problem. I'm not in a hole or anything, no tall...

I have been to that sight hundreds of times. My chalk line strings constantly break at work rendering a chalk line that's been used 4 or 5 times useless. But I don't replace that string with the same string designed to break again 4 or 5 times later, but I do replace it with another kind of...

I've been reading a lot about this coat hanger antenna said to be better than most store bought antennas. I have a huge antenna I bought a couple years ago, one that I was told I would need to receive my local channels & tried finding the best spot possible but 1 channel is all I get reliably. I...
