So HDTV stations are usually put on UHF then? Good to know. It's
actually not that difficult to make a log-periodic antenna for UHF since
the sizes are good. Not so big as VHF, but not so tiny as 802.11, say.
I've made a number of them myself and they work great.... check out the
AARL handbook for a HOWTO for anyone interested.
