    It's worth a gamble at $28. I went to one of those warehouse clearance places and got this GE antenna - about $40. It's an Attic antenna and I haven't mounted it to the attic, but left it hanging in the living room. We have a valence for the curtains and it (largely) hides behind it



    Check out TV Fool - http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29 You can key in your Lat & Long and it'll tell you which stations you should be able to get. In Canada, we only have Digital stations so select that and it'll give you a list and how far away you are.

    I've a motorized directional antenna (amplified) up on the island, I have it on a 10 foot mast attached to the ridge end of the roof, I found a map that lets you zoom into google earth and it puts in the lines pointing to every broadcast tower in every direction. It really helped me figure out the optimum place to point it without using a compass. I simply use real world sight line landmarks I can see on the map. Currently I'm picking up channels from Cleveland (60 miles) Toledo (40 miles) and a few from Detroit (50 miles).
    It works out well because if a channel like Fox drops out from Cleveland due to weather I can usually just re adjust and pick it up elsewhere.

    All in all pretty impressive for a budget $25-35 antenna.

    It's futile, it really is.... This same person said to me that "a kid didn't shoot up that school, a gun did". So apparently AI had evolved far enough to make guns both sentient and ambulatory. Amazing stuff!
    It's a no-win situation because they don't want to deal with facts.

    I'd be far more impressed with the MDS students if they were talking about creating a school culture where everyone is supported and made to feel welcome. The utter lack of introspection and screeching speeches about how it's everyone's fault but their own feels very hypocritical.
    I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.

    Haven't been able to sleep at night for months, but I could easily just lie down on the hard floor here and fall asleep. I'm beat.

    DGX you heard of the allergy shots? I hear it’s a bit of a pain, you have to go get them a few times but apparently they’re much more effective than continually taking the 24 hour pills like I do. Sounds like your allergies are miserable, may be worth looking into!
