TV signal analysis results for my location... (http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3d46aeddb75b9433)
All the channels I care about are at 93 and 97 degrees azimuth.
With the Antennas Direct C2V mounted on the east exterior wall of my home, I'm getting almost everything I want. Signal strength and quality in the 90% plus range. The exception is a marginal signal on channel 27 (virt 19). Strength and quality around 63 and 50, with a choppy picture.
I've verified that I do need VHF. With the dipole disconnected, the C2V could not get either channel 5 or 11. I'm thinking I need a larger UHF unit, a dedicated VHF unit, and a diplexer.
1. Would the Antennas Direct DB4e be a good UHF choice?
2. What to do for VHF? The dipole of the C2V was great.
3. I also want to exterior-wall-mount this stuff, so mount recommendations would be appreciated. Is this too much for one J-mount pole? Do I need a mast of some length with anchors at top and bottom?
Thanks!
