I thought I'd let you know that I just finished building this antenna and the performance is incredible. I live in southeastern Ohio where there are very few local stations. With this home-made antenna I am now getting 28 channels, many of which are in HD. Some of the stations that I am receiving are 75 miles away! This thing works better than anything I have tried before!
