Antenna Spotting in Kenosha #3
2 Attachment(s)
Here's another one, apparently the guy is trying to get signals from North and South. I wonder if he still uses it seeing how he has the 8 Bays underneath them?
Can anybody ID that antenna? Or is it Home made? http://forum.tvfool.com/attachment.p...1&d=1556387652 http://forum.tvfool.com/attachment.p...1&d=1556387664 |
It looks like the old 4* bay antannacaraft. Uhf tv antennas
Troposcatter Ground gain!!! |
It looks to me like two CM 3016 lashed onto a common book.

No way I think it's a Winegrud 4bay ok channel master one of the best ANTENNA manufactures that used a ham Radio guy to design ota box with IT'S ATSC performances
New OLD school technology white space ? Low band vhf BROADCASTING channel's 2-6 Is on the come back fcc dumping a lot of money on equipment for the low band vhf BROADCASTING station and is the new antennas and cooled transmitter 's I think the Low power vhf stations on the RECEIVE end result will be a strong signals.QSL? |

That top antenna would almost certainly be two antenna's
modified into one. I imagine it is NOT very efficient or effective receiving signals 180 degrees apart. i have come up with a much better alternative to receive UHF signals 180 degrees apart. It is much more efficient than removing the reflector. |

I wish Bob would ask some of the people that are using two antennas aimed in different directions, as shown in his travel photos, how they are combining them. |
I think his antennas are to close together!!!

A. D. D. Antenna distraction disorder.

I'm not sure what they were doing, the construction looks old, it was probably done in the 60s or 70s. I just happened to catch it out of the corner of my eye do to my severe ADD. (Antenna Distraction Disorder)! I've never seen so many different antennas in my life then in Kenosha which I have dubbed "antenna town". Also, lots of towers. Okay, I give up what do you do to receive bi-directional without removing reflectors? |

What I meant was that having two combo antennas aimed in opposite directions is a lot like having two UHF/VHF pairs aimed in opposite directions (not the C4MAXs). In both cases, you have the same combining problem. I don't consider your experiments with two C4MAX antennas a failure; you learned a lot from it. I have been following your posts on HDF and have found them interesting (especially the SDR scans), but haven't been able to make any useful suggestions. You already have my thoughts about combining. |

I do know your thoughts about combining, I'm just trying to get the one input solution figured out. There's been a lot of good help. But what I'm waiting for is JoeAZ's solution to combining two antennas without taking the reflectors off. Come on JoeAZ let's hear it, stop teasing ;) Okay Rabbit, have you ever seen two antennas put together like that? I would say by his edition of the 3 eight bay antenna, he probably wasn't happy. One day when I get a chance I might knock on his door! |

I can't find the poster's image right now, but holl_ands did model a similar antenna: https://forum.tvfool.com/attachment....4&d=1556634321 https://forum.tvfool.com/attachment....5&d=1556635331 The two directions are combined in the antenna. https://imageevent.com/holl_ands/bidirectionalyagis https://imageevent.com/holl_ands/bid...ionalfdyagiopt This antenna IS bi-directional; it has more gain than a bi-directional dipole, but less gain than the Stellar Labs 30-2475. It still has the potential problem of co-channel interference from the two directions. |
Sorry for the delayed response.
Please see my post, "Reception 180 degrees apart." |

remember that they are both hi gain ANTENNAs and the space between the two Is very important if it was 4ft apart and find tune them by using the TV sets |
