They mention the rabbit ears must be fully extended for VHF. I have a
channel 9 NBC local station that's fairly low power and hard to get.
What if I wanted to make an indoor antenna optimized just for the
channel 9 frequency. Anybody know of a good web page showing me how to
quickly calculate how to do this?
