I have worked long and hard on cold fusion. It has been a long time past to try otherideas. I since broadened my focus. I now have several apps andI am working on a few more. My “tell meyour” dreams recording alarm cell phone alarm clock is getting closer torelease. Books are at

Now, I am working on a new type of TV antenna. I was watching TV at Susan’s house. We saw 5 commercials for every ten minutes ofshow. The cable company just raisedtheir rates for basic cable. They now requirea package for to receive CNN. That servicecosts more money. The would like to bill all of us at least $150/mo. She said, “Why am I paying for this!” She was mad and dropped cable. She does her internet on a smart phone and a wireless tablet combination now. I purchased an amplified antenna and put in her attic. I worked well for 10 channels but 5 others weredropping in and out. I made two element Yagi array out of wire and put the square antenna in it. It’s just a wire that goes under the squareantenna with a reflective element that extends out about four inches away fromthe base of the antenna. The reflector is a turned up wire. The 5 channelsthat were east of us now came in great. Isa Yagi array for a square HD antenna a good product? It’s just a bent up wire. I live in valley and had no hope of any antenna working forme. The old VHF TV signals diffracted downwarddue to changes in air press with height. I used to receive Pittsburgh in thevalley 60 miles away. The new UHF HD signal is onlyline of sight. Why did they abandonedVHF with HD? While working with Susan’s antenna in the attic I noted that two channels came in from the opposite side of the house as the west attic window. The transmitters are in the east. I did some tests with reflexive metal window screens and found that that these signals were reflected UHF signals. The Yagi was getting the signal from thewrong direction. It must be reflecting offof a power wire or something. When thewind blows these channels go in and out goes in and out. Then I really knew they were reflected signals UHFsignals tend to reflect. All of thechannels east and west came in from this position. It was the best overall position even though two of the channels were reelected. I looked out of my window at my home in the valley and saw that it was encircledby cell phone, AM radio, and other towers in the surrounding mountains. These must reflect the one megawatt UHF HD signals. What is needed to pick up these reflections isa very high gain dish type of UHF antenna. It would focus on and receive these feeble reflected signals. I would need a filter to block out GHz cellphone, microwave, and VHF and only receive the reflected signals. Millions would beable to receive HD TV in the valley for free. Just aim the dish toward a high metal tower, flag pole, or powerline. I am working on this now. Does anyone have some ideas on how large a UHF @400 megahertz dish wouldhave to be? I also have some ideas on a band pass passive filter. Something like a wave guide filled with cement. I bought some stuff and I am trying some concepts now. Adivce is appreciated. Frank Znidarsic
