Sam Rylo August 29, 2012 at 4:03 amI built one yesterday, and it works great in the Portland, OR area!
Bill August 29, 2012 at 2:30 pmNothing “digital” about it. Simple bow-tie array. Probably DOES work well.You can use a coat hanger if the signal is strong enough in your area. So, would that be a “digital” coat hanger?
Eric August 29, 2012 at 3:04 pmYep, that was the popular mechanics plan.I’m thinking of redoing mine with double the phase bars, since i’m close to the towers, but I live in a “hole” and the signal goes over my head
