I have both the Y10-7-13 & YA-1713 & they are close performers from 7-13. No big drop-off on 13 with either model, although the Winegard is slightly better on 8, 11, 12 & 13 at this particular location.

Interesting. The two studies on the Canadian forum done by different people showed that the Y1713 had an edge on overall gain on Ch. 13.
It may be possible that they each had a defective antenna from the same lot. Last year I bought two Winegard HD 9032's about two weeks apart and both were from the same lot and contained the same defect. At least I was able to get a refund in each case.
At my location the Antennacraft YA 7-10-13 works quite a bit better than both of the Winegard Y1713's that I owned. Wish I had an explanation for this...
