Tv Reception.

No trouble at all , I like to look this stuff up.

Mileage figures are General reference target figure numbers.

I do the antenna recommendations based on the received signal strength.

The HD7084P and the HD8200U will both provide reception.

Sometimes I will move down from the HD8200U because it is so large.

Question askers about reception , often times begin making noises about the size of the HD8200U antenna.

I prefer to have the question asker will get reception , then to back out over the issue of antenna size.

Many people do not understand that in certain reception situations a large antenna is required.

That said , Yes the HD8200P antenna will provide some more reception ability.

Signal fade margin , the signal strength can go down and the larger antenna will still receive the signal because the extra signal gathering ability (gain) of the larger antenna , elbow room.

The HD8200U is not too much antenna.

The HD8200U is what I would use at your location.

Be sure and use a Strong and Sturdy antenna mount.

If mounting both antennas on the same mast pipe separate both antennas by about 3 feet.

If the antennas are mounted on separate antenna mounts then separate more then 3 feet.
