If what you write is true and outdoor antennas are commonplace in =
europe,
then why the hell do we expect indoor types to work over here?
If the US has much worse field strength uniformity than in europe
how can we possibly expect little indoor antennas to work when they=20
don't have a chance compared to an outdoor type mounted on a 30 ft pipe?
Magic?=20

I think that this "uniform field strength" topic is blown
way out of propotion. Outdoor antennas are entirely
commonplace in Europe, if anything much more so than in the
US, even before cable happened over here. Evidently, we're
talking minor differences, in practice.
Also must not discount the govt involvement in building the
infrastructure, by the way. It's not clear to me how the
designs would change if all the infrastructure costs were
borne from broadcaster revenues.
