Thanks for that link. I just may build another one of those my own self soon...

Looks like a worthy project to me. Interesting that they compared their double-bay version to the Channel-Master 4-bay 4221. It raises the question, "Why not build a 4-bay Gray-Hoverman?". I think I might give that a try. Any thoughts on how best to connect them? An 8-bay? 16? Is bigger better? Does size matter?

Of course a multi-bay antenna probably won't work indoors, which the original topic stipulated. A single-bay ought to fit ok, for example the foil one given as an example that was wall-mounted. Sure looks easy to build.
