Analysis of tony's house
Can anyone help me determine the type of antennae I would need. I live in farm country about 75 miles west of chicago il. I found the analysis confusing. Would a multidirectional antennae be a possibility? Since I have four televisions in my house would I need some type of amplifier before my splitter.
Thanks in advance. http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...cef380bd684671 |
Looks like a nice list of networks and IND's in your report.
I would avoid an omni or multi directional antenna and use a fixed aim directional combination. I would aim the UHF at 73° true, the VHF at 198° true. Mount as high as possible. I would choose a large UHF and separate VHF like the 91XG and YA 1713 http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp...u=853748001910 http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp...u=615798304867 I would combine the two using a Channel Master CM7777 http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp...ku=02057207774 I think that combination would give you the best chance at reliable reception of the stations in the top half of your report. I would try using a passive 4W splitter, two amplifiers in the same run often causes problems. |
I concur....

The 91 XG and VHF antenna aimed as suggested leaves you with no CBS. I'd aim both at Chicago. |
Good Catch Tower Guy
Here in Seattle CH 12 moved to a UHF... when I saw WBBM - 12 on the report I think my brain went 'oh that's UHF'.
I think there may be a good chance that WWTO - 10 will be strong enough to get into the back side of the high-band VHF if it's aimed at the Windy City. For sure, if the folks at Tonys' house want to see CBS, aim as you suggest Tower Guy. Good call. |
