The solution to your problem may be as simple as changing the type of antenna. Assuming that Dish, cable androoftop antennas are out of the question, here's your options. 1) Buy an amplified rabbit ear set or non-traditional design of set-top antenna to increase your range.
2) Buy a 'carrier wave' antenna modulator. This device is a little box that plugs into your electrical socket and uses your house's wiring as an antenna! There's a company in Roanoke, VA that sells them, but I don't remember their name.
3) If you have an attic, you can install many rooftop antennas in the attic with a little amplifier, point in the right direction and you're good to go. This will NOT work with a satellite dish, by the way. More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
