Speaking of Old Designs, whatever happened to the Conical TV Antenna? I remember when I was a Kid, my Grandparents had one that really dragged in the Stations. When it was destroyed by a tree falling on it, they replaced it with a Channelmaster Log periodic and never did get as good reception.

I know Powell on this list has one that also drags in the HDTV signals.
