I now have the recommended 2 antennas, preamp, 10' mast and all material necessary to install on top of our 2-story home but I have a couple questions.
Here is my original information:
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...9e745f1f7ad2cb
I have the AntennaCraft U8000 with the Antenna Direct CPA-19 preamplifier to be pointed at 350 degrees on a magnetic compass.
I have the Wingard YA 1713 antenna to be pointed South toward the Louisville stations.
My questions are
1. Where exactly do I install UVSJ to combine the signal of both antennas since I assume preamp will be attached to the AntennaCraft U8000 antenna only. Is the UVSJ mounted after & below the preamp U8000 connection but still attached to the mast? If so will the current from the preamp transformer (which will be mounted in crawl space of home) have any affect on the other (Wingard) antenna?
2. Is there any problem running the coax from the roof down the exterior wall (2 story home) and then through the foundation so we can run it across the house in the crawl spase (because all of my in-house cabeling is on other side of house). From antenna to foundation 30' and house width is about 40' (total of about 70' to 80'' from antenna to main in-house cabeling box).
3. Can the Wingard YA 1713 be mounted on the top part of 10' mast (since it takes very little space on the mast) with the roughly 36' square shaped AntennaCraft U8000 mounted below? The mast will be mounted to the 48" tall chimmney (gas log fire place used 1 ot 2 times a winter). How much room is required between the 2 antennas?
4. Actually I have hired an electrician to do the install but he and his men are not experts with TV antennas and I want to pay close attention so I can get it completed properly the first time. If you know of any thing else that might be helpful please advise.
Thank you
Dennis
