Long range help

[markf]

Looking for advice on selecting an antenna. We live between Orlando and Jacksonville, both between 50-60 Miles away. Only really need to get the three networks. Is it possible?

Thanks in Advance for the help.

I'd aim a Winegard HD 7698P at Orlando. Mount it on the roof. You'll also need a preamp.

WESH operates a UHF-18 translator in Deltona. That can make the VHF-capable combo unnecessary. A UHF 8-Bay with suitable preamp should work fine.

Can you recommend an 8-Bay and preamp?

You're right. I missed that.

Can you recommend an 8-BayAntennas Direct DB8e.
and preamp? Channel Master 7778

ABC might be marginal; it's a lot weaker.

If it is too unreliable, try also weak WJXX real channel 10 with a VHF-High yagi aimed 345 degrees magnetic and combined with the DB8e with a UVSJ.

How would The ClearStream™ 4 compare to a Antennas Direct DB8e?
The ClearStream is smaller and may not upset the neighbors as much!

The C4 has less gain than the DB8e and would make WFTV ABC 39 even more unreliable, but you are welcome to try it.

The DB8e, with both panels aimed in the same direction, is the current champion when it comes to UHF gain.

Would the 91XG be acceptable?

The tvfool reports for 2Edge signals are less accurate, so it is difficult to predict results with the accuracy you would like. With so many factors involved it isn't possible to make a guarantee.

You must expect some experimentation will be necessary. It might boil down to making a choice between reliable reception and appearance.

If the antenna is outside, the coax shield should be grounded with a grounding block that is connected to the house electrical system ground with 10 gauge copper wire for electrical safety and to reject interference. For further compliance with the electrical code (NEC), the mast should also be grounded in a similar manner to drain any buildup of static charge, but the system will not survive a direct strike.
