This is where I had my Amazon antenna. My plan today was to move it to the top of the house:
This is what the SE facing part of the antenna perspective:
By the time we got everything in order it ended up being the afternoon. Unfortunately it was stupid hot today and the roof temp was ridiculous. So back to Lowe's for some conduit. We were able to approximate the height of the antenna on it's normal mount. (sorry bad picture) It's not done properly I know, this is completely temporary setup for testing purposes.
When we set it we put the flat sides directly N/S instead of NW/SE. I also added a preamp I found at Menards and removed the Amazon amp. This afternoon the weather was completely clear. Doing a check with the Tivo I still got all the Louisville except one AND the displayed signal strength went from 55-60 to 70 or above. I was able to add WTTV from Indy but none of the other channels came in then. They fluctuated up and down with no stable signal.
As of 10:19 tonight, WRTV, WTHR, WFYI, WNDY, WTTK, WHMB, and WXIN from Indy all coming in solid.
My plan is still to move it to the top of the but if I put the original short J pole on there will the roof affect reception from the north?
