I have 12' cables between each antenna and the combiner. They could be shorter, about 6'. I could also move the two antennae closer together. I have each on a separate mast altho my original intention was to put them on the same one. Somehow i thought that keeping them separate would be better, but i have no real tech knowledge about this.
Should i put them on the same mast, or move them closer together, and should i make the cables as short as possible and still equal length? One is pointing almost directly East, the other almost directly West.
Compass i use [from my sailing days] ...
West, 263` compass ...
East, 87` compass ...
It took me a while to determine that i originally had the antenna pointing backwards. It is "obviously" a huge arrow, but it does not work that way. The tail is the pointer.
The antenna that i have may not be very good. They are DigiWav ANT-2110. DIGIWAV claims they are good for 70 miles. LAVA HD230 is an identical one, claims just 45 miles and a user rating of only 3.0 out of 5.0
Also the LAVA HD2805 claims 150 miles and a user rating of 4.9 out of 5.0 for about the same price.
Perhaps DIGIWAV is not being honest about their distance claim, and i may have better results with the LAVA2805.

Eventually it may cone down to this, but i am willing to experiment more if it might be fruitful.
Thanx again for the info and the assistance.
