[RTC List] OTA Antennas - HD and SD local broadcasts

[Sherman Schapiro]

Fred:  I live in Blue Lake and have had a Radio Shack metal array type
antenna in the attic for years and years and it still seems to work fine for
digital through a converter although I don't have a high-def tv.  The
following web site will determine the best antenna orientation for your
location based on the Eureka area OTA stations.

Hope this helps.
