      Greetings TOM!                      RW>> Greetings Ed!               RW> EV>> I forgot to mention I looked at my TV Antenna and it has One        RW> EV>> Boom, so it's a Yagi not a LPA.               RW>> My Austin stations antenna (21 deg north-north east) is a Quad        RW>> bow-tie with a large reflector behind each one.               RW>> My San Antonio stations antenna (196 deg south-south west) is a 10        RW>> element yagi with a corner reflector.                      TW> My first try at recieving the digitasl UHF stations was an Eight        TW> bow-tie antenna with reflectors.        TW> No go so then I bought a 20 Element Yagi with a Corner reflector.        TW> Still unwatchable, Lots if pixlelation in the recieved        TW> signals.              FYI, a LPA has more gain than the yagi, in the same size boom length. Plus       it can be more broad banded if you want it to be. That page you posted a       link to has a LPA almost identical to the LPAs we built back in the 60s       while working at Solar. If you click on that LPA with the booms at a right       angle to each other, there should be link there to a formula to determine       the lengths of radials and booms that you could build to get those       stations you don't get now.               Have a day!               R\%/itt - K5RXT              --- GoldED+/W32 1.1.5-31012       --- D'Bridge 3.99        * Origin: HAM Radio, aka Amateur Radio. 804?
