Why does DTV require a special antenna when it's using the same
frequency as analog TV? This is simple physics, f/234 = 1/4~ length of
the antenna, these things don't change based on the medium of transport
(i.e. digital/analog/morse code/FM/AM/SSB/packet etc).

I just finished and tried out a $0.00 out of pocket homemade DTV
antenna. I am quite pleased with its performance, although SWMBO
decreed that it will not be in our house where it can be seen. I
guess I will hang it in the attic and run a cable down to the TV.
To be honest, I used 10 new 3/4" wood screws and 10 new #10 or #12
washers. It would cost me a little to replace them. A chunk of
redwood I salvaged off our old porch torn down 8 yrs ago, and I had
the antenna - coax dongle and I used the thin hangers from the cleaners.

I wanted to plane the old paint off the 1x4, but could not find my
electric plane, so i just used the stick as is.
