25' High enough? Tested CS5 indoors.
I tested a Clearstream 5 indoors that belongs to my brother. Some channels came in.
I'm thinking of putting a Clearstream 4 up on the peak of my roof. I'm in a valley with trees and houses. My estimated results at 25' I have two TVs. Thoughts on parts or application to get this going? thanks |

You have no need for VHF, since ABC on real 29 is your strongest channel and in the same direction as the others, while ABC on real 7 is weak, and in another direction altogether. |
The C5 does "better" on UHF than a lot of forum regulars might expect, but it's certainly not the antenna for this location as the UHF signals are way too weak for anything other than a directional UHF antenna aimed at KC. You can point the C5 at St Joe for channel 7 if you're interested in it.
91XG, DB8, DB8e, or C4 are all viable candidates to the job. Add a sensitive, fringe area preamp like the PA18 and see if you can find a spot where you have a decent signal path to KC. FYI, trees plus weak UHF signals usually is a recipe for frustration, so do the best you can. Cheers! |

Of all the antennas/amp you listed can you recommend the setup you would encourage? Although I can't say money is no object, I tend to buy quality parts. I rarely go cheap. I'd rather go with robust/quality if at all possible. Now that cable is cut I'm saving $120 per month. |
