Moving to AZ - rambler
Hi, I'm moving from WA to AZ. I tried to setup an antenna in WA but had some big trees blocking LOS and the channels were too far away, so we could not go the antenna route. Now that we're moving to AZ, it looks like the channels are about 25 miles away. The house we are buying is a rambler and we're surrounded by other ramblers. What antenna and placement would you guys recommend based on the tool results. Keep in mind that we have an HOA, so having a huge outdoor antenna is not an option. Thanks!

Consider an ANT751. It receives all the channels that you have in AZ.

Greetings,
I install antennas in the Prescott, AZ and have done so in the Phoenix area as well. A very good option would be the Winegard 7694p since it covers all the frequencies used in Phoenix. It is compact, durable and powerful as well. The ANT 751 is also a good choice but a bit less powerful. Be sure to ground your antenna system for lightening protection and better reception. Keep the antenna away from trees and power lines! |
And if

You guys think I can get away with an antenna mounted in the attic? |

Does your new house have a hip roof or gable ends? If gable ends, which way do they face? If gable ends, is the insulation foil backed on the roof but not the wall? If you have foil backed insulation on both gable walls and roof decking can you remove the foil for several feet in front of the best location for your antenna? Aiming through gable ends is preferred here in the Northeast where snow can accumulate on the roof. I don’t have experience with Arizona roofs. |

The physical laws say the antenna must be located where the signals exist; the wife says the antenna must be located where it looks "nice." "The King lives in the Castle at the discretion of the Queen." I'm lucky. I have a wife who not only tolerates my antenna experiments, but encourages them because she wanted a battery operated TV for use during power failures. She even gave me a signal level meter as a present to measure TV signals. Fortunately, your signals are quite strong and in the same direction, so I agree with Tower Guy; an attic antenna has a good chance of working if there are no metal object in front of it. These are your signals: http://forum.tvfool.com/attachment.p...1&d=1531075283 My signals are very similar: http://forum.tvfool.com/attachment.p...2&d=1531075326 I am able to receive all major networks with an indoor antenna on the ground floor with trees and buildings in the signal path. I am using this antenna: https://i.imgur.com/FqoC8mt.jpg I lent it to a friend, but she wasn't able to get any signals during a channel scan with the antenna indoors because her house has aluminum siding. I also tested a more sturdy version suitable for outdoors with similar results: https://i.imgur.com/RNbPN5b.jpg Both require assembly. When I was through testing the GE 29884, my wife said: "Don't put it away, I like the curve of the reflector." https://i.imgur.com/q17KPcL.jpg My antenna is in the corner of the bedroom, which is the second-best location; the best location was, of course, in the middle of the room in a high traffic area. There is usually a chair in front of it to hide the orange Home Depot paint bucket, which is filled with old magazines as weights. The bucket is sitting on a 3/4" plywood base that has leveling-screw feet to make the mast vertical because the concrete slab under the carpet isn't level. https://i.imgur.com/H2r9J95.jpg I also suggest you try the RCA ANT751 in the attic at several different locations. Wear gloves when unfolding the elements; some are sharp and covered with oil. If the signals are too weak, add the RCA TVPRAMP1R preamp, which is what I use with my indoor antenna, but my strongest signals are OK without it. Buy the preamp from Walmart, not Amazon; Amazon sometimes sends out Warehouse Specials that are returns that have a DOA power supply because they haven't been checked out. If the RCA ANT751 doesn't have enough gain for the attic location, upgrade to the Winegard HD7694P antenna. |

Wifey said you should probably put it on the outside of the house on The gable end should work well lol and camuflosh the ANTENNA!!lol |
King Jack is a better looking antenna than that one and will kik it's but.
Lol and you don't have to worry about WHERE to point it wifey said And when bad weather conditions come you will lose your receive Stop playing games and do it right the first time before football is On the tv air waves,good luck have a good day!! . |
There are areas in East Mesa near Falcon Field that TV Fool indicates
are line of sight that are not. In fact, I've gotten better signals from Tucson than some of the Phoenix stations in Ftn Hills and East Mesa. I doubt the signals in your area are as strong as your report suggests. An attic antenna with a tile roof is always a disaster. Even asphalt roofs degrade the signal enough to create problems. Perhaps your wife would like to view the tv using an attic antenna and you can watch the tv using an outdoor antenna. |
