@meridish, I think I found the site where you got the specs for this antenna. The full description is confusing, because it is listed as a passive antenna despite having these two properties:

Antenna Gain VHF: 30 dB, UHF: 36 dB,
Noise Figure ≤ 3.5 dB

A passive antenna has no noise figure nor anywhere near that kind of "gain". I suppose that the vendor did some cutting-and-pasting in building the web page that he shouldn't have. No matter, we don't have a clue as to the actual sensitivity of this antenna and over what ranges of azimuths and frequencies that sensitivity is maintained. Therefore, we can't match it to requirements as presented by TVFool reports. That is the reason you won't see us recommending it.

How tall is the antenna?
