Initial attempt at a Single Bay Gray-Hoverman TV antenna, which is a big step up from the "proof of concept" antenna I put together yesterday. Even without a reflector in back and not being in the end install position, this antenna pulls in all of my local channels nice and strong. I plan on installing it on the roof (attached to the chimney) and hooking it to a 4 port amplifier (which I already have) and having all three of our TV's connected. Also have a coaxial surge protector (similar to this one) to help protect the line in case of lightning.

Also, this antenna design is GPLv3. ;)

Construction cost at this point is less than $5 US as I'm using stuff I already had in the garage. Just needed to get the 75ohm to 300ohm transformer (I ordered this one along with another Amazon order that I placed). The end overall cost will increase (considering the above mentioned items) but, it'll be damn cheaper than any premade antennas I could buy. Plus, premade doesn't fit with the DIY aspect. :D

As a proof of concept, I put together this TV antenna and can say that it works. Not really any better than the rabbit ears I currently have hooked to the TV but, it works. Planning on making something more elaborate very soon.
