[kwlug-disc] Home made indoor TV Antenna

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

That antenna with a rotor could pull things from different directions. He
is getting Hamilton from North West Waterloo (close to the west end of
Northfield), but the tree is blocking Toronto for him. Maybe it will not
get Toronto at all, but maybe it can.

For $40, some people may want to try it out.
