Short and sweet. What was once only good living on a hill away from wires, buildings and other obstructions for analog TV signal, is now great for Digital TV reception. About the strangest looking indoor antenna I've ever seen...BUT WORKS!
My Mom used to have this same antenna for analog TV reception. It worked great for her. Her apartment building was on a high hill. She never had to rotate it to find a station.
I live in the middle of the city. Some TV towers are north of me, some south. Yes, sometimes I have to turn it slightly to pick up one particular station. The rest come in...
