Well, I just made my first DIY prototype HD antenna based on these designs. I live 30 miles away from the main towers and have tried many store purchased antennas. I even have an outside Terk TV55 antenna. I can get about 5 more channels with this thing INSIDE my house. Time to start my final outdoor version.
Yep. That's just a 'bowtie' style antenna. A very tried-and-true design. They work quite well. The one drawback to them is that I'm pretty sure that they're just designed to pick up the UHF band. So if the other poster is trying for VHF channels, he may need to look at 'yagi' style antennas too.
