John. Thanks for the links. Very useful info. Not sure I want to go to this expense at this moment though. For VHF 7 I only need a couple more DB gain to lock onto the signal. Right now the...

Hey Tigerbangs

A couple of questions for you.

If you had a choice between stacking either two Delhi VIP 303SR's or two Winegard YA 1713's to obtain Ch. 7 or higher in your area, which would you choose?

That antenna should be fine for everything in the Green and Yellow on your report. If you require reception of the stations in the red, you will need a deep fringe antenna.

I know what you mean. I have a friend in MN receiving a VHF 13 all the time even though the signal is listed at -5.5 NM and is listed a Tropo signal.

The reason I put the 1713 on top is that the TV Fool report shows I get nearly 1 db more of gain with that extra five feet. Since all of my UHF signals are quite strong with the exception of KMIZ 17...

I guess he's not well versed in TV antennas then. I did tell him that I needed it for the 91XG and YA-1713.

If I wind up with four Super G1483's then I may need to use the unit he recommended. :-)

Thanks for the suggestion. I will consider the CM model and at the same time I will be searching for a used Hy Gain AR 40 or some other heavier duty model.

Norms is telling me that U-100 or U-110 won't handle this load and he's trying to sell me on a $500 setup called the CD-45. Seems like overkill.

Rotor Recommendation

Can someone recommend a heavy duty rotor that will be able to handle a 5 foot mast with a 91XG and YA1713 antenna on top?

Currently I am using a NTE U105 but the load seems too great for it.

If he wants to go with a separate VHF antenna then the Winegard YA1713 would probably work for CFTO.

Free To Air TV might be your best option. After the one time cost of the dish and installation you won't have to pay for any programming.

Tigerbangs. Can you recommend a specific Splitter or Combiner with low loss that I can use to combine the two antennas into one line out to the TV?

Should I get a filter that will wipe out every channel except Ch. 17? Or should I just get something that will take out a few specific channels? If so, which channels should be wiped out?
