[QUOTE="Steelers Fan, post: 4387266, member: 16254"] I've built several of these and they work really well. [I][URL unfurl="true"]https://www.instructables.com/Homemade-TV-antenna/[/URL][/I] They can usually be built with scrap in the garage. Add a cheap signal/antenna amp off Amazon and you'll be surprised. This has outperformed many 100-150 mile VHF directionals I've had. I presently have builds working in Edmond, Del City, Guthrie, Seminole, and Stillwater. I'm not saying they're the best, but they do work very well for a 60 mile antenna. Also be aware that though it is built and described as an omnidirectional, it can be manipulated and improve signal from certain positions rendering it as somewhat directional. I've never tried it with a reflector but if receiving from one primary direction I can't help but believe it would improve signal strength. Does pretty good job on FM signal too. [/QUOTE]
