At least you could give me credit for the picture. If you read my post at digitalhome.ca, I compared it to a RadioShack corner reflector (they call it a yagi) which is about 6' long. I got consistently at least 5db and sometimes more gain with the DBGH at the same antenna location. The antenna is not that big. 70 x 30 inches. I made it out of 1/2" PVC and had some wire laying around, so the whole thing cost me about$30USD. I am over 2 ridges and about 50 miles to DC and now I nearly always can get any of the UHF channels, including the digital ones where before, TV was not worth watching.
