symmetrical offset multi-quad antenna

I built this antenna as an experiment. I looked at a few patents, and was inspired by some of the designs for fractal antennas. Without much knowledge or calculating, I put this together from 12/2 romex. I used an El-Cheapo balun from sadoun.com, but I would not recommend these ultra-cheaply-made units. I am using a $0.99 set of baking-racks as a reflector. This picks up every signal around in the City, even though half of the signals are on the other side of my slate roof. I am using an HDHR ATSC/QAM/8vsb HDTV ethernet tuner thingy. 1080p through my old NEC XG 135lc blows my mind, and it sure beats a $2500 television set, Samsung be damned.
