OT: What is the best antenna for getting Phoenix area TV channels?

[mike Enriquez]

Try an $8.00 antenna!
Search the internet and you will find instructions on building an HD 
antenna for $8.00.
I live in the west valley and gave up cable t.v. about 3 years ago. I 
have rabbit ears made by Phillips which
cost me about $70.00. I purchase all the parts for my $8.00 antenna but 
I have yet to build it. I have Rabbit ears on my t.v. up
at Sedona and that works better without the HD converter box?

Here I use the convert box and its ok. But I am looking foward to my 
$8.00 wonder.
Good luck
