Default "Panel" style UHF DTV antenna?

Hey OM
This si just a rehash of another post awhile back in this here forum.
But DTV will never go away so:

I seen one on youtube, there are a tonne of them, but this, to the
best of my recollection, one used:

1pc 1x2 2ft long board
5 steel wire coat hangers
dry wall screws
and a 75 ohm to 300 ohm balun

to make a 4 bay bowtie antenna


That one is all over the internet. It works OK, but you would
get better results with copper wire, not steel coat hangers.
It also looks ugly.

For another idea, do a google for a Hoverman style antenna.

Then there is mine...
