any other options to increase tv reception?
I added the winegard wingman over the summer hoping it would help me draw better signal where I camp in the fall. It made virtually no difference. I'm in the middle of nowhere so I'm not sure there's ...

Let's see...
A few feet of 1/8" aluminum wire (the bows)
Aluminum rod 1/4" (enough to make the reflectors)
A piece of HDPE (chopped into pieces for stand offs)
1/4" grommets to insulate the reflectors from the center beam
3' or so of 1" X 1" aluminum angle
Two strips of acrylic to hold the top and bottom of the bows
Some 14 AWG wire for connectivity
A balun for connection to coax
Fasteners to put it all together
Some glue for the reflector rod to grommet joint
This is an easy antenna to build and the closer a guy can stay to the critical dimensions, the better the reception. A double array has been touted as receiving signal from 90 mi. There is a whole crowd of antenna nerds that have taken the design and improved upon it. More information is available at the OTA forum.
