The only stupid question is the one that is not asked. Myself, I'm a newbie too, but I got so much help here and feel I should help others.
That's what I like about this forum. So many...

Masting advice
You can get the antenna up 30-42 feet AGL. So 2 21' sections of 1 5/8 or 1.66 as the hardware store calls it would get you up there I would use the thickest pipe available, or sleeve it -or both. Now...

The problem is split between two threads.
Thanks for clarifying that Rabbit. I was wondering where his TV full report might have been. I was thinking it was more of an installation problem, and it is, but there's more to it than I thought.

Yeah, I re-read it and he hasn't bought any antenna yet. Good for him. :)
Maybe he can give up on the idea of an eave mount, unless he goes with something small.

No Big Antennas
The 2020 doesn't have a lot of cross section for wind load, so for 15 feet up without guy wires, you would probably be OK. The 3020 is a monster at 12 feet long. I would not put that up 15 feet on an...
