Whatcha got and how's it working for you?
I made an antenna out of coat hangers, house wire, a board, some screws and washers and a 75 ohm balun. I can pull in every station locally even some over 20 miles away. I haven't paid for tv since 2002
I'm familiar with these sites. I've spent many hours on them over the last few weeks.Quick and easy lookup of stations you can realistically get: https://antennaweb.org

We used various iterations of the amplified/"50" Leaf antenna before we had cable, which can work well if you take the time to figure out placement.
It hangs in the house from the ceiling.Does it go on the roof? Or indoor? Can you take a picture of your DIY antenna?
