The minor detail that I had overlooked was that the cutoff of analog signals is in 2009, not this year! My first attempt to build an antenna went awry when I learned that copper needs heat to bend without breaking. =(

My next attempt will be better as the design is proven and I will be able to just use wire hangers in copper’s place (yay-cheap). And with some luck, I’ll get it done soon as I am refusing to pay for cable/satellite subscription to save some pesos. That way, my brother-in-law will stop asking me if I now have cable everytime he visits.
