One of your issues out the gate for 261 and 269 magnetic is that you need VHF capability (RF 7 - 13) for KNTV RF 12 and KGO RF 7. Thus, I wouldn't go the 8 bay "bowtie" route as they are primarily...

RCA Ant751

I agree with teleview. The RCA ANT751 is a nice little antenna that in the appropriate application can perform quite well.

As teleview said, being LOS and having a reasonable signal strength (15...

Further update...

The daytime isn't kind to KLEW. Reception is rock solid stable in the evening hours, morning and mid-morning. Starting about 9:00am, pixellation begins to set in. Signal quality...

Just put the ANT751 on a mast on the deck and pointed it roughly at 60-70 degrees.
