I don't work for AD and don't even own one of their antennas right now.
I did own a Stacker at one time. Compared it to other antennas. Yes, it is a good antenna but ultimately it does not...

It may be doable then. When I lived in rural Maine I remember that the local utility would drop utility poles in the ground for some property owners that needed a pole that was off the street. And...

Lara. If zoning will allow it, you could also have someone install a utility pole on the property for you to install a mast and antenna on top. If your yard is large enough that may be doable and...

I ended up buying the 1850. I've used both Antennacraft and Winegards over the years and I get better results from Antennacraft. I found the MXU 59 is the peer of the Antennas Direct 91XG while...

schild. Do you own that property on the top of that hill you've mentioned? If so, you could install a guyed mast and put an antenna on top of that. Use a pre amp and RG 11 cable to minimize line...

Took a quick look at the report. Probably the Winegard 8200. May or may not need a rotor. Depends upon if you have multipath issues. I know I have several signals coming from 15 degrees at my...

Probably the Winegard 8200 all channel TV antenna. Pre Amp I'd look at is a Kitztech KT-200 or maybe the KT-500. You should receive everything down to Ch. 22 perhaps Ch. 30 with this setup.

I just took a look at both the Winegard and Channel Master websites. No indoor only antennas can pick up VHF Lo channels. Only VHF Hi and UHF.
See if you can find one of these somewhere. Even...

Yep. Indoor antennas and in fact most antennas being made right now either don't have the ability to pick up VHF Lo channels or if they can, don't have very much gain at all.
Perhaps one of those...

Navigator.
Are you getting a good picture on WOI Ch. 5 with the 8200 antenna?
You may need a pre amp with more gain and probably a lower noise floor for this situation. While the RCA pre amp...

Do you want to receive Ch. 5? Since all of the viewable signals are at the same compass reading it makes it easy to buy a single antenna and point it in that direction. Only buy a rotor if you plan...

Antennacraft HD 1850 vs. Winegard 8200
Has anyone tried a head to head comparison of these two antennas?
I am likely going to be shopping for one now that we don't have access to any fringe or deep fringe VHF only antennas other than a...

RCA TVPRAMP1R Preamplifier
If you live in a strong signal area I can almost guarantee that you can use this pre amp even with a fringe antenna to obtain weak fringe or even deep fringe signals.
