My prediction comes true
Some time ago in this hallowed forum I predicted that DIY TV aerials
would appear after DSO. These would be omnidirectional. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/.../WP_000029.jpg Bill

My prediction comes true
I was building aerials way back in the 70s. It really was not rocket science
omni or otherwise. Indeed my late father actually had all the calculations needed in a diary from the 19450s.You just scaled them to suit the frequency. Could be very handy for old band III as one could just make it specific to one channel and get good gain for yagis. However I'm a bit less enthusiastic about omni directional for Freeview and the reason is tha many people can receive multiple transmitters and not always are the best ones found first which means loads of high numbered channels that may or may not be the worst signals.

A little coil of wire or something and a short lead to the TV, with a money back guarantee. I think they just relied on inertia selling. -- Max Demian

I suppose that they work - after a fashion - but they wouldn't be my first choice for a permanent installation! -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup.

I note that the 'dome' is not completely circular, so it could be true. -- Ian
