Tv Antennas and Reception
There is nothing special or magic about these and other home built antennas. The Gray-Hoverman design shown in the picture is not a (Gray) design. It is in fact the original Hoverman design from the 1950's. The original Hoverman design has a high standing wave ratio. Gray , used present day computer modeling to add more metal receiving elements to reduce the standing wave ratio and improve the performance of the antenna. The Stealth Hawk is a Gray-Hoverman antenna cut in half , it is missing the other end of the antenna. And has half the reception ability. Notice the long metal bar at the bottom of the Stealth Hawk antenna , this is what Gray added to both ends of original Hoverman design.
