I haven't used it, but one antenna that has been posted here before is the 
TV antenna that is mounted so that the elements are vertical and not 
horizontal(like a TV antenna is usually mounted).  From my understanding, 
this is because radio signals are vertically polarized and TV signals are 
horizontally polarized.  You might want to post a message to Bill Cheek 
about this one....I certainly don't know enough about it to be really 
specific.  He has posted about it before, as have some others. 
 
Did you do much scanning during the Parkersburg Homecoming?? I didn't get 
a chance to.  Nothing big was on the news concerning disturbances as far 
as I saw, at least not like last year!! 
 
Oh, one other thing.  If you like listening to ham radio operators, I found 
an interesting thing on 147.315 MHz(Belpre repeater).  Every Thursday at 
9:00 PM there is a gathering on that freq called the Multi-Counties Area 
Ham Net.  Rather interesting listening, with all the check-ins from ham 
operators in WV, OH, and even in Maryland and Virginia from time to time. 
I don't get to listen to it every week(like tonight!), but if you get a 
chance to listen, it is pretty interesting.
