Here's my finished antenna and it works GREAT!  I get all 10 local channels perfectly clear without any of the little square artifacts that show when the digital signal is bad.  No more cable for me!  All this for the cost of the $6 matching transformer from Radio Shack.  Part number 15-1230 or 15-1140.
