KPIX numbers
Dear StephineS,
To answer your question, I did look at KPIX with the "back yard mount" and the system I was using could see signal but not enough to be useful. It reported 5 dB signal, it seems to get an image at between 15 and 20 dB. Now if going into the air from 8 feet to 15 ft doubled the signal ( I have no reason to believe it will just a wild guess) that would get me only to 11 dB so still not enough. I have a hard time believing going on the roof will get me an extra 15 dB but if it did I would not say no to it!
I looked at my gable mount this evening and I will need to build a support, my roof has only a 20 degree pitch, so the 5 ft spreader is just not wide enough. I will need to attach a 2x4 to spread farther...this is turning into a big project...but hey I feel so good having dropped cable and I need something to do this weekend.
Colin
