http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...1dda1852335b44 elevation was at 32 feet
I have no existing antenna, mount, amp, etc. The only channels I care about
: reliable reception for ABC, PBS, NBC, Fox; consider CBS expendable. Anything else I might get appreciated. I'm hoping for one antenna vs. 2-3. Wondering if 5 foot Ronard #911 on back porch roof with mast 14 feet to get me to 31 feet. 31 feet is height of upper roof peak. Guess I'd have to guy that mast, never done that before. Are there alternatives e.g., taller tripod, that could work? I really like the location on porch roof: house ground and coaxial path to basement and distribution is right below this point. Also, porch roof is not steep, and faces east (sheltered from wind). Once reaching the peak, I'm in the clear from trees, etc.
Will I need to amplify? From basement coax entry to 2nd floor TV: rough guess of 43 feet to one; much less to the other 2nd floor TV.
I want to serve 4 tv's: one in basement, one on first floor, 2 on second floor. I'll do away with cable tv and use existing cable tv coaxial to distribute. What all do I need? Thanks
