Although I am totally new to this, I have read a bit. No one has, though suggested best antenna for stations (many) coming from almost directly opposite directions. CS4 is my current choice, and I do NOT want a rotator, unless someone convinces me that's far and a way the best solution. Thanks to all of you for donating your time in this way. :cool:

There are a few stations using VHF channel assignments. Rather than a UHF only antenna, I'd opt for a Winegard HD7010 if the Mega-TV affiliate WSBS, real CH-3 is of interest to you. WEYS-LP, real CH-6 may or may not be on the air, rabbitears.info does not have an entry in their database, though they show an entry for the digital WEYS-LD on real CH-29.

If none of the low-VHF (real channel 2 through 6) stations are of interest, an RCA ANT-751 would be a good option, aimed at the southern group of stations.

Your situation is actually quite favorable, the envy of many other OTA viewers.

I'll second that recommendation for two reasons. First, as you have many strong signals, you don't need a high gain antenna, like a C4. Second, with signals coming in from opposite directions, you do not need an antenna that favors the forward direction by a lot, like a C4. Therefore, you do not need a C4. The ANT-751 will work just fine.

While the C4 would likely work anyway, the correct antenna from our line-up for the Ft Lauderdale area is the C2V with the reflector removed. Removal of the reflector makes the C2V purely bidirectional on both UHF and high-VHF (it is already bidirectional on high-VHF out of the box).

The reflector is held on with screws and nuts and is easily reversible.

That is also an excellent suggestion. I'll keep the C2V in mind for other situations.

BTW, we now have the VHF upgrade kits available for existing C2 owners to convert the C2 to the C2V... Just got inventory in on Monday.
