Yes, that's what I'm referring to.

WCAX is back on the air using the temporary antenna. No WPTZ as of yet. It is not clear to me that WPTZ will be broadcasting from the same antenna, as this hasn't been explicitly mentioned in their...

Transmitter Fire in VT
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I thought it would be interesting to discuss among us all...

The KINGJAKs are way more better than those crummy WINGRUDs. (inside joke) :)
In all seriousness, based on the size, they are probably pretty comparable in terms of signal gain. Looks like the...

You have a nice report. All the major networks are strong and on UHF. You might be able to get away with a 4-bay such as the HDB4x, DB4e, or Clearstream 2, aimed at 217-degrees. If you don't care...

How badly do you want those "fringe" stations from Canada? They will most likely take extreme measures to receive at your location. Such as an powerful antenna on a 70-foot tower, high quality...

I would give your Clearstream 4V a try on the roof before trying a different antenna such as the 7694P. The two VHF-hi stations you care about (WJZ-13 and WBAL-12) look to be very strong and a bit...

I think it is very unlikely that your friend's amazon antenna will pick up any of the NYC stations you desire. Your best shot at the UHF stations from that group is with an 8-bay such as the DB8e or...
