Tonight I tried it out, and it works! It took about an hour and required a few salvaged parts (an old board, six wire hangers, some screws and washers, and a TV transformer) but I couldn’t pass up free after seeing the performance of the $20 craptactular specials that were available at the store. I decided to omit the base/stand since I was just putting it behind the TV anyway. Compared to the horrible bunny ears we were using before (we have a large antenna in our attic but have never bothered to adjust it) we get perfect reception on all channels. If you have spare time and feel like saving a few bucks, make sure to check it out at the link above, there is a PDF schematic and a video of the process.
