And if anyone can get their hands on an Antenna rotator, to us they are real Treasures!!
We'll be glad to come and get them.

There seems to be a lot of people looking at this post as opposed to the others. If it's because of the switch to HDtv then to answer your question... You can still get TV signals with the antenna but unless you have a converter box or a new TV then you wont get anything but snow. What changes with HDtv is the frequencies being broadcasted, Channel 2 on the dial was something like 55Mhz for the video carrier. The new signal will be 200Mhz or so. Without that converter box or with a new TV that is already setup for the change then the old TV is looking for a signal that's no longer there.

As to the Interferometer, the original post, then I'm still working on it but it'll be some time before anything gets started worth noting.
