At least you could give me credit for the picture. If you read my post at digitalhome.ca, I compared it to a RadioShack corner reflector (they call it a yagi) which is about 6' long. I got consistently at least 5db and sometimes more gain with the DBGH at the same antenna location. The antenna is not that big. 70 x 30 inches. I made it out of 1/2" PVC and had some wire laying around, so the whole thing cost me about$30USD. I am over 2 ridges and about 50 miles to DC and now I nearly always can get any of the UHF channels, including the digital ones where before, TV was not worth watching.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
