Hi kennylive: Yes, before I posted this thread here, I emailed Denny's Antenna with a question about the RCA751, or rather his version of it, but he never replied back.

Looks like AD DB2E more sensitive or gain than GE Attic on UHF channels you tested. Of course, you would have to add a VHF kit to use as all around antenna, whereas GE...
