I built a sweet antenna with aluminum tube. This is what i built (and I have blueprints if anyone wants them). Just google Single Bay Gray-Hoverman (SBGH). I don't want to get started, but it is easily the best antenna I've ever had, I went from 20-60% signal with a commercial antenna outside to 100% signal on all channels with this antenna in my attic.

You could make thermowells out of them for your carboys, etc.

With that thing he can probably pick up the security feed from the local Walmart!

I think I saw one of those at the Sunnyvale Trailer park. Bubbles must have copied your design.

Yeah, I get the standard 3 channels, unfortunately I'm too far from Walmart (Chalmers - you should have guessed that!)

It was definitely a project but it allows me to get full strength signal from inside my attic with a large hill blocking line-of-sight to the towers.

Any info or other pics on the cable connection? Can that thing be made out of metal, or does the abs provide insulation?
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter. :wtf:
