[kwlug-disc] Home made indoor TV Antenna

[William Park]

I'd take the opposite track.  Ban Rogers/Bell off the air.  And, move
CBC tv/radio to OTA exclusively.  I personally wouldn't mind 1 channel
TV spectrum.  I mean, to go through 500 TV channels, 10 sec per channel,
takes 1 hour 23 min 20 sec.
