Antenna advice

[WhoseTARDIS]

Hello, I need some suggestions for antennas. ABC, FOX, NBC and CBS have a tower on Wopsy Mt above Altoona, so these channels I should be able to receive with a good antenna. What kind of antenna do you all think I would need for PBS stations (WPSU) North of me? Thanks

Those are some tough reception conditions.

'Go big or go home' applies in this case. You'll need to mount a large UHF antenna above or clear of trees and nearby buildings.

I would consider the Antennas Direct 91XG or DB8e or perhaps the Winegard HD9095P.

An Antennas Direct PA-18 preamp would also be needed.

Then, you'll need to consider a rotator.

For reception of ,

WHVL-LD Real UHF channel 27 , MyNetwork and America 1.

WPSU-TV Real UHF channel 15 , PBS channels.

WTAJ-DT Real UHF channel 32 , CBS.

WATM-DT Real UHF channel 24 , ABC and FOX and This Tv.

Aim a Channel Master CM4228HD at about 15 degree magnetic compass direction.

Install a CM7778 preamp.

------------------

For reception of ,

WJAC-TV Real UHF channel 29 , NBC and Me-Tv.

Install a second antenna and amplifier that is the same as the first antenna and amplifier.

Aim at about 280 degree magnetic compass direction.

-----------------

The 2 antennas systems Are Not connected together on to 1 coax.

The 2 antenna systems are separate antenna systems all the way to the Tv location/s.

----------------

A Remote control A/B antenna switch is used to change antennas.

Thanks for the help! I knew this would be a tough job to receive these channels. Glad I have the internet for Netflix and Amazon Prime on the Roku box. This will save me a hundred dollars a month! Any suggestions on a stand alone DVR?

How high can I go with my antenna, without using guy wires? I plan on installing some sort of pole in the ground like a 16' 4x4, but not sure what kind of mast or how far above the pole I can go.

Use the , ronard(911) , 5 foot tripod antenna mount.

Measure around the chimney and use a , ronard(2212) , ronard(2218) , ronard(2224) , chimney antenna mount.

Can go 10 feet above mounts with no guywires.
