  • The change in OTA was going from analog (NTSC) to digital (ATSC) signals. They operate on a different frequency range and offer higher bandwidth.

    So, rabbit ears still work on for digital OTA TV on a TV with a digital receiver (any TV made since 2010 basically).

    There are more specialized designs for different use cases.

    In a pinch, I have used a hobby pin. An actual bobby pin. And it could pick up digital signals.

    An antenna is an antenna. Everything is just radiowaves until it is received. The processing is done on the TV. But, the shape, size and material do affect how much is received or reflected or missed.

    It’s all ratios as far as frequency reception. The materials affect the electrical conductivity and signal strength. So, you can’t make a wooden antenna, but any conducting metal would work. Some better than others. But copper is still the best aside from gold.

    This is a good not really beginner article

  • For those unaware, there has been and currently is, an active push by many in the trump regime to bring about Armageddon.

    Not speculating, conspiracy theories, or hyperbole.

    Legit, published, spoken, on the record goals for trump to be the agent that ushers in Armageddon by joining Israel in a fight against Islam.
