Antenna help south central MN
I'm looking to drop the satellite bill.
Here is my TV signal analysis from 20 feet up. http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...2c150e3168e988 I'd like to get all the networks, especially need channels 9 & 11. No real obstructions to the north/northeast. We'll be connected to 4 tvs, probably 40 feet of coax from antenna to splitter, then 15-30 feet to each of the tvs. Any help greatly appreciated...... |
KARE 11 and KMSP 9? For those two, I would buy an Antennacraft Y5713 or Y10713, and mount it on the same mast with my choice of UHF antenna. http://www.antennacraft.net/Antennas/AntennasVHF.html The 5' Y5713 would probably be fine, by my preference would be to go big with the Y10713.
I would ignore the low power repeater stations from St. James (208 magnetic) and focus on the stations from Minneapolis at 58-60 magnetic. I'd mount an Antennas Direct DB4e https://www.antennasdirect.com/store...v-antenna.html on the same mast as the Y10713 and combine the two antennas into a single wire using a UVSJ http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=uvsj That should bring in all the majors from Minneapolis. You could substitute a mast-mounted preamp for the UVSJ, something like a RCA TVPRAMPR1 http://www.amazon.com/RCA-TVPRAMP1R-...D9Y/ref=sr_1_1 - possibly not needed, but will help to overcome the splitter losses if that's an issue. Try it with one TV directly connected first. hth! |
