<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#ffffff"><font size="+1">I ended up building a single bay Gray-Hoverman (one
hour at Home Depot and 3 hours at the work bench). </font>The
particular version I built is considered a UHF only antenna, so my plan
was to first fix my main problem which was the UHF stations, and then I
thought I would build a yagi for the two vhf ones.<br>
Of course when I finished it I was anxious to get a hint of whether it
would help. So I went to the attic and just set the SBGH down on the
attic floor under the rotor/antenna and moved the RG-6 coax to the
balun on the Gray-Hoverman. I pointed the SBGH in the general
direction of my stations and went to check the reception. It was
great! Apparently all the stations are pretty comfortably above the
threshold where lock occurs because the pictures on all 7 stations are
basically perfect. And, ironically, the two VHF stations are as good
or better than they were before, even though the SBGH model I built is
supposed to only be a UHF antenna.<br></div></blockquote><div><br>Specifically which SBGH plans did you use? I found the DigitalHome forum and wondered which plan you used.<br><br><a href="http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=81982">http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=81982</a><br>
