Thanks for the advice-I am currently lining up someone to install an antenna on my masonry chimney (since my 28 foot extension ladder is not long enough for the job). Just for fun I did a little experiment this weekend. I have a large FM yagi antenna in my attic (5' or 6' boom) that I took down from the attic and and hooked up directly (via a 6' coax) to a small portable television. Standing in the front of my yard, I held the antenna over my head and pointed it south-I was able to receive CBS, FOX, weather, country music, etc-but just barely as the stations tended to drop out if I moved.
Hopefully, with a higher gain antenna; a pre-amp to overcome the cabling losses, and the additional height of a chimney mount I will be able to pull in all these stations without dropouts. I will update this thread once I get a permanently installed antenna. Thanks again.
