homemade 3 is a stairway to heaven..............

It is ! As a lad I took Dad's decommissioned Band I/III aerial,
chopped up its elements and converted it to a Group C/D UHF. I was
astounded to discover that simply by pointing out of my ground level
bedroom window, I could receive watchable pictures from Mendip (about
90 miles away).

You should try the one in my loft.. I need 24db of attenuation to avoid
overloading the Philips set's receiver.
Mind you I am only about 6 miles from Sutton and you get a decent digital
picture using a screwdriver as an aerial.
