Tv antennas and Tv reception

Can you see the lights at night of the transmitting tower at , Jerry Turner Way , Parkdale Ave. , Malden Ave. , Rockrose Ave. , Hooper And Rockrose Park?? Install a Winegard HD7696P antenna with NO Amplifier aimed at about 339 degree magnetic compass. Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html. Here are some examples of Strong and Sturdy antenna mounts , http://www.ronard.com/909911.html , http://www.ronard.com/34424560.html , http://www.ronard.com/ychim.html , http://www.ronard.com. Buy the ronard antenna mounts at solidsignanl by typing the word ronard in the solidsignal search box or by from ronard. Here are places to buy antennas and etc. , http://www.solidsignal.com , http://www.winegarddirect.com , http://www.amazon.com. The HD7696P antenna and the Omni Directional antenna Will Not be connected together on to one coax. DO NOT use a amplifier with the HD7696P antenna. Separate coax will be used for the HD7696P and the Omni antenna All the way to the location of the Tv. And a Radio Shack remote control A/B antenna # 15-1968 switch will connect the two antennas to the Tv. As a Test of reception , you can use the coax of the Omni antenna for the HD7696P antenna , HOWEVER REMOVE ALL AMPLIFIER PARTS , NO AMPLIFIER POWER SUPPLY NO POWER INJECTOR NO NOTHING , You are using the coax only to get the signal from the HD7698P to the Tv. Now scan for channels , I suspect many if not all of the Tv stations/channels to the , west , south west and south will also be received by the HD7698P.
