I have been building free DB4's for friends that do not have the fiscal means to pay for Cable TV for a couple years now. (I would cut the Cable TV cord myself, if the wife would let me haha).
I am building my 6th DB4 antenna, but this time it's for my Pops.
Since he is one of those "impossible to shop for" people, I thought a handmade DB4 would be the perfect gift for him, so he could still watch TV in case of a storm/emergency.
I started putting the antenna together tonight, & pulled his TVfool location... & that's where I got a little overwhelmed...

I have NEVER seen such a crazy TVfool schematic, & to be honest, I don't even know where to start...
I have always had a set of towers in 1 direction that required a reflector screen, but these results make me think I should forgo the reflector, for omnidirectional capability.
So my questions are:
1. Would you use a reflector in this case?
2. What (Magnetic North) Degree would I even try to start pointing the thing?
