Providence/Boston Reception Help
I'm looking for the best solution for a roof antenna that can bring in stations from Providence and Boston to my north.
Here's my TV Fool report: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...d243ff42a3569d At 2˚, are all the major networks in Providence, which shouldn't pose much of a problem. In addition, I'd like to receive these stations at 3˚: WGBH, WCVB, WBZ, WGBX and WSBK as well as these stations at 4˚: WFXT, WLVI and WHDH from Boston. I wanted to know the best overall antenna for my situation that would receive the stations listed above, as well as being able to discriminate/decipher between the co-channel and adjacent channel issues which may occur at 3˚ and 4˚. I'll have one TV to hook up. I appreciate your suggestions and help. |
The co and adjacent channel warnings shouldn't matter, The potential interferers are all well off due west and should be in a -20 dB or more null of any directional UHF antenna mounted.
You can probably get by with either an 8-bay or UHF Yagi aimed at Boston. Odds are fairly good that it will also get your single VHF station on 13 or, if necessary, a small high-VHF antenna can be added for fill-in reception of that station. If you don't have trees in front of the antenna, Boston's stations should be readily receivable. A pre-amp may not be needed. If one is, it must be selected with care. |
ADTech may be reluctant to suggest his company's products -
This is a nice antenna - I own one. This is an 8-bay antenna. It has the advantage of being a recent design, and eliminating chs 52-69. The FCC removed that range fron the broadcast TV spectrum. Narrower bandwidth means higher sensitivity on the remaining channels for a given size. https://www.antennasdirect.com/store...V-Antenna.html You can add a VHF dipole to get the close-in VHF stations WNAC and WPRI from Providence. https://www.antennasdirect.com/store/Reflectors.html AntennaCraft is another less expensive option http://www.antennacraft.net |
