Make a Digital HD TV Antenna from a Gate.

Is this the worlds BIGGEST home made Digital off Air HD antenna?
Never satisifed I came across this gate, and first thing I thought was "BIG HD ANTENNA"
I added the standard "CoatHanger" antenna and mounted it as high as I could....... BANG! Signals were WELL up and directional, but not as bad as the smaller reflectors I have been working with!
Maybe a tad too big for the roof so I mounted it on a H to H C-Band antenna mount, The elevation is set at 45º the latitude for this area. I am sure it would work a lot better if I changed this angle and had the antenna vertical. I don't have an actuator on this mount right now so moved it by hand just to show the motion.
Another fun project! Bigger is better when it comes to antenna! The 'gate' antenna is 4' 7" x 3' in size!
