New TV antenna

Part of the Fire Comcast TV plan involves substitution some over the air TV for local content.  My TVs have OK digital tuners but I've no antenna.  A bit of searching on the web and YouTube found a number of DIY antennas so I decided to build one and see what happens.  Here's my first effort.

It's a 'fractal' antenna.  There are several sets of plans on the internet.  I used these.  Without the antenna I get zero stations.  I tried a set of 'rabbit ears' without any success.  This hack gets me the following channels

• 2-1 WGBH HD pbs
• 2-2 WGBH-SD pbs duplicates HD
• 2-101 nothing but it syncs ok
• 2-102 ditto
• 4-1 WBZ-TV
• 5-1 WCVB
• 7-1 WHDH
• 7-2 ThisTV
• 25-1 WFX intermittent
• 27-1 WUNI Hispanic
• 27-2 WUNI Hispanic (different content)
• 38-1 WSBK intermittent
• 44-1 WGBX-SD pbs
• 44-2 World WGBH world news
• 44-3 Create DIY of some sort
• 44-4 Kids
• 44-5 WGBX-HD intermittent
• 56-1 WLVI-DT syncs
• 56-2 TCN syncs
• 62-1 WMFP-DT sports
• 62-2 WMFPDT2 syncs
• 66-1 WUTF Hispanic
• 68-1 ION intermittent
• 68-2 qubo intermittent
• 68-3 IONlife somewhat intermittent

That's 26 stations with a small antenna sitting beside the TV oriented improperly!!

I think it's a win and worth a bit more investigation.
