Thanks again Teleview
I was talking to my neighbor about the subject and he offered to give me the antenna form his parents' cottage (they are selling it next year). All he could tell me was that it dates to the late 80's, is about 5 or 6 feet long and has a functioning rotor.
Wasn't planning on going up on the roof this winter anyways, so I'm more than willing to wait a few months and see if this antenna will do the job.
Cheers,
Peter
