BTW, thank you for your continued patient help
Thank you for understanding. I'm trying to give you accurate advice.

Your CM antenna is for UHF and VHF. It should be OK for UHF and VHF from the SW with a preamp; isn't t?

I understand that you want UHF and VHF from two directions, the SW and SE, but using a splitter in reverse probably will not work for you.

Forum member bobsgarage lives between Chicago and Milwaukee. He wanted both direction, but I told him to be happy with just one direction because combining doesn't always work. He tried it and lost some channels. He ended up with two separate systems.



Bobsgarage lives north of Chicago, and has two antenna systems on two separate masts; one UHF/VHF system facing north to Milwaukee, and one facing south to Chicago. (In the photo, they are both aimed in about the same direction.) He wanted so many channels, he found it impossible to combine them without losing some. He is using separate tuners.
