New antenna user needing help
Below is my tvfool report for my current home. Any suggestions for direction and antenna would be greatly appreciated:

Hello, Northman11
Thank you for the report. Where will the antenna be located? What channels are most important to you? I ask that because your channels are in different directions. |
The antenna will be located inside the house. Ideally I would like to get the typical local stations (CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX).

Try an Antennas Direct DB4e UHF antenna aimed at 32 degrees magnetic. Add a preamp if necessary. WTVD ABC will require a VHF antenna added to the DB4e with a UVSJ UHF/VHF combiner, or switch to a UHF/VHF combo antenna like the Winegard HD7694P: http://www.newark.com/stellar-labs/3...vhf/dp/48Y8141 UVSJ: https://www.radioshack.com/products/...itter-combiner https://www.antennasdirect.com/store...Combiners.html If that doesn't work, try the attic. If that doesn't work, move the antenna outside. That's the best I can do without seeing a satellite view of your location. If you desire, you can give me your coordinates or address in a PM. Interesting note: WRAL is doing ATSC 3.0 tests on real channel 39. WRAL on 48 will move to channel 17 because of UHF Repack: https://rabbitears.info//market.php?...&callsign=wral WRAZ will move to 15: https://rabbitears.info//market.php?...&callsign=wraz WNCN will move to VHF-High channel 8: https://rabbitears.info//market.php?...&callsign=wncn You will need to switch to a UHF/VHF combo antenna or add a VHF antenna to the DB4e with a UVSJ UHF/VHF combiner. http://www.newark.com/stellar-labs/3...vhf/dp/48Y8141 |
Thanks for taking time to help me out. I'll give that a try and see if what kind of signal I can get inside, in the attic, and perhaps outside. I really appreciate the help.
