mtownsend, Do you think that Terk would pick up my vhf PBS station? I've tried three versions of the rabbit ears/loop (the two radio shacks mentioned in this thread, plus a basic RCA). They all pick up the NBC, CBS uhf stations, and the ABC vhf station (as well as the Daystar analog station).

I'm kind of interested in the Clearstreams, b/c they'd look cool on my wall , but they'd only help with the Fox and CW uhf stations. Although, the bigger one, the C4 might let me pick up the uhf stations MyN 35 and PBS 26, in addition to Fox and CW. The C5 really is too big for indoor, as AdTech pointed out.

I'm also kind of interested in the CM that Billiam mentioned, b/c it might pick up the Fox, CW, and PBS stations. But, it also really is kind of on the big side.

If the Terk you mentioned would pick up my PBS vhf ch 10.1 station, I might grab that one. Is the PBS station hard to pick up b/c it's vhf? Or is it because it's below 50 in the NM(dB) column?
