If you have the money, a yagi antenna for VHF channels 7 - 13 would be my
recommendation for TV. There are also FM yagis. I don't beleive any
so-called "All Channel" antenna will peform as well as an antenna intended
for a limited band.

UHF TV is tricky and unreliable. About the only thing to recommend it is the
high gain antennas tou can build on a smaller boom. In my opinion, VHF 7 -
13 is a better hunting ground.


I lived in Chicago in 1962-63 and DX'ed channel 2 in Miami at 5:30 A.M.
in the winter. Sometimes it pays off and sometimes not. That was back in
the days of test signals, many with the Indian, and I took snapshots of
the screen with my camera. No VCR's back then either.
