Type in -Tv antenna stacking- on the internet and you will find a lot of information. Here are the basics of antenna stacking. ALL WAYS use equal lengths of connecting cable between stacked antennas. It is best to use identical tv antennas , a vertical stack is one above the other , usually two antennas for the VHF Tv bands of 2 thru 6 or 7 thru 13. One is in a fixed position and the other is moved closer and further away up and down until the desired channel is at its best , vertical stacking works well with long distance reception , the television signal tends to shift up and down through the day and night , cold and hot and density of air layers, vertical stacking also works well for reducing or eliminating airplane flutter around air ports , air plane flutter is what one might call , moving multipath. The second basic way of stacking Tv antennas is horizontal stacking , or side by side stacking , this is done the same way , with two identical Tv antennas side by side in the VHF Tv bands. One is in a fixed position and the other is moved closer and further away to get maximum signal , horizontal stacking works ok for long distance reception but is more often done for the reduction or elimination of multipath from buildings , mountains , trees , etc. . To much multipath is not good for analog or digital television reception. An every day example of stacked antennas is vertical 4 bay bow UHF antenna and the vertical and horizontal 8 bay bow UHF antenna.
