Please Don't Buy From Digi Wave Technologies (now called HomeVision Technology)

A company called Digi Wave technologies which I have learned has a lot of references around here has been found to be plagiarizing from the site of our OTA Forum moderators information site.

In some cases entire pages were cut and paste onto their site without permission or attribution.

Out of respect for Stampeder, we have banned the company's name from our site by using the censorship option because I do not wish anyone on this site to read about them and would allow them to profit from their stealing.

I encourage members who respect the great things Stampeder has done for OTA in this country and this forum to contact these people and give them hell.

DIY antenna Utube video

That's the video that gave DIY 4 bay antennas a bad name.

If someone made a good Utube video on making a G-H it would probably triple the amount of people using them. Especially if they could make them with cloths hangers and wood.

In the pdf on how to build that antenna he mentions that the design was invented by Doyt Hoverman in the 1960's.
I don't know maybe he did come up with that design as well.
All I could find is this 1964 patent which is very similar to the G-H devoloped on this site

I find it funny that in the beginning of the video he shows a factory made antenna then goes on to show you how to build one that has wayyyy different dimensions.

I've never built one of those to field test but the computer models show them to be very bad in the lower UHF channels. Many people have had success with them though.
