Default Would a discone cover all the US TV broadcast Freqs?

I want to put up the smallest outdoor antenna that would cover all TV
Broadcast Freqs being used after Feb 2009. The log-periodicals are too
"un-stealthy" to go unnoticed by the XYL, but I think a little discone
with
some black paint might escape her inspection as long as I do the
installation while she's out shopping.
Question is - have any of you used one for TV - and if so, how did it
perform? would it cover the TV broadcast freqs ? (I'm aware of its lack
of
gain - I'm within 5 miles of most local stations, and within 20 miles of a
couple more.)
Thanks

Why not just put a normal antenna up in the garage or the attic? A small
yagi should do it. You can remove the UHF reflectors if there is plenty of
signal. Even cut half of the UHF directors without much loss. Bring it up
in the rafters and spread it out. Not near as good as on the roof but you
can always put it up normally when she finds out about it anyway.

That last sentence is the point here. She'll find out anyhow.

Hal, it might be time for the "talk". My XYL hates antennas. When I
wanted to put up my dipole and vertical, she groused a lot about it. My
reply was that I keep the yard beautiful, put in lots of landscaping,
and a pond. Now I would like to have a couple antennas for my hobby that
are pretty unobtrusive. Maybe I'm in the wrong hobby? Maybe I should
take up going out to bars, and hanging out with loose women. At least
with radio, you know where I am every night.

The antennas went up.

LOL, SAME STORY HERE.

Amen brothers. If not for decent women and antenna arguments, we'd all

Got the last one!

However, every once-in-awhile, one is "traded in" (low milage, only one
owner, good paint, etc.) and becomes available ... I'll keep my eyes
open for ya'.

However, I got a "model/make" from Texas. Couldn't find a decent
"model" made in California! (complete! with authentic Texas accent. :-) )

Why would anyone on earth want a "decent" woman when there are
so many bad women available?

Because the bad women get you into fights, jail, divorce court and strip you
of your wealth so you wind up paying for their parties while they line up
new suckers and try to shame you for not making their fantasies more
complete.

Remember their kind of bad is much worse than we give them credit for.

Case in point: Last one had the fantasy that a husband should be willing to
die for her. Made her heart go pitter-patter. Thought of men as some kind
of pet or other species. I told her to go buy a Doberman.

I find it takes a exhaustive baby-sitting type of investigation of at least
2 years before they let their hair down and show you their true mind.

From past experience, I have to give it to you, there is much truth

It looks like marriage is a forgone conclusion in California anyway. I
don't know why the fags want it. I guess they don't reproduce so they have
to steal someone else's kids. It's all beginning to look like reruns of
daytime TV.

What the church should do is Holy Matrimony and quit recognizing the state.

Beware the conspiracy. The problem is that so many people don't even
believe their own experience. let alone what they see happening to others.
"Oh, that won't happen to me." Their brains are too full of slogans that
tell them how to feel and what to say, that they can't make rational
conclusions.

The answer: A Christ centered boot camp that turns marriage partners into
accountability partners in a team effort rather than a Detante.

I would like to know when the state/feds took over marriage, why and how
they are able to do it with NO justification. Marriage is a God/Church
thing ...

The same fags which demand they be able to marry will demand separation
of church and state powers; So, where is that separation here. Gov't
needs to back off ... only God and the Church has the power to
rightfully marry people--all other marriages are a fraud anyway.

JS
