Thanks, I looked at the specs on that and it is about 1.5 feet longer than my existing antenna. Not sure about width, etc. There is a good chance it will fit. I wish I knew the real specs on the Radio Shack antenna to know how much more gain I will get from this one. In 20 years or so, and considering broadcast was analog at the time, have their also been improvements in design/technology? Also, would you recommend an amplifier?
