A C2V without it's reflector ought to do the job, barring those potential complications.
AD Tech,

Thanks for the suggestion. I had never previously considered a C2V. I always thought it was one of those antennas that was more of a supplement to a Sat dish. That's how I usually see those.

No offense intended, I just never took that design seriously. But now, as I look around I have seen several of them in my area. I always wondered "what is that loop for?"

I went on some websites and found the C2V. There is also a 2 antenna design,(C4V) will that be OK ? I'm worried that the white pines may affect his reception for the future, so will a little overkill hurt??

The price difference is hardly worth worrying over.

Thanks, Bob
