So. Very funny antenna. The best HDTV antenna is a digital satellite receiver. But if you want a UHF antenna you need, you can build these antenna.
First, these antenna need a agreeing device, that justifies resistances antenna and receiver
wire in plastic insulation it is necessary to wind on ferrite ring, by diameter 80 mm |

wire in plastic insulation it is necessary to wind on ferrite ring, by diameter 80 mm | Satellite is nice, but it's not free and DVB-S cards are very hard to find here.
The card I have can work with ATSC and QAM-based versions of DVB-C. I don't have a cable line installed so I can't use DVB-C, but the card has two inputs so I will leave one connected to an antenna for ATSC once I get a DVB-C cable line installed.
But which design should I use to start with? |

This is a very good antenna. You can receive VHF and UHF signals by high quality.
This is a reflector:

This is a antenna module:

Complete antenna:


This aligner, without it antenna works much bad:

| I have a 75R to 300R balun transformer. Can I use it as is or should I rewind it for your design? |

| Yes, you can use this transformer. |
