VHF TV Antenna

Anyone have a site or plans for making/buying a VHF-Hi(190MHz) TV antenna. I need to pull in a signal 70 miles away. All I can find is UHF/VHF, I want VHF only.

TIA,

Tim K.

Winegard Long Range VHF Model HD 5030

I've never done business with them so I can't vouch for them. Winegard is a good name in TV antennas, at least they used to be.

Sniff around the 'net for sites that show you how to make 5 and 7 element beams. I know I've seen sites where you enter the freq, and it calculates the length of each element, along with the spacing between 'em. Since you want one freq and one direction, making your own yagi would be the best way to get the maximuim gain.
