Dunno if Richard had looked at that one... I do know that he said he had
done some research before deciding on the one he did...  as I said, you
two should probably discuss it next time you're in town...  ;)

 SH> I have seen the ones using wire and boards. I may build one of those
 SH> also and compare performance. If I can figure out how to get to the
 SH> end of the attic and how to run an antenna wire down through the wall,
 SH> I might put one up there as it would increase performance. The problem
 SH> is that it is a cathedral ceiling and there does not look to be an easy
 SH> way to reach the end of the house where the TV is. In which case, and
 SH> outside antenna might be a lot easier to make and install.

He's got his set up in the front room upstairs where he has his computer
and the TV set up... seems to be working fine for him... :)
