While I was at my parents, and making my cat annoyer, I also made the backplane to my Home made Digital TV antenna. This is just a reflector for the antenna to give it better gain.
It’s actually a little short, but I didn’t want to pay the $6 difference for the taller wire mesh.
It needs to all turn white or something, as it’s visually kinda dominating the room.
It needs to be tipped away from the wall a little bit to get the right angle to point towards Chicago to get the towers. It does reject Rockford and DeKalb stations quite strongly though, but alas, that is it’s design.
