teleview,
Thanks for your response! Sorry I'm just getting back to you. I have been having a wonderful time, making my own connectors and playing with different things. I would love to get NBC, but my only concern is the nearly EIGHT FOOT boom of the antenna... What kind of supporting structure would I need on my house to take windload? I have a smaller mast on the roof, but not sure if it will hold it.
But, it does seem pretty certain that a high gain roof antenna (probably with a pre-amp) mounted on my roof would be the only way of my achieving NBC. My only other thought is I'd be curious to see how the DB8 performs, and whether you think that one of those mounted outside would possibly pull in NBC? The DB8 seems like it would be less stressful on any roof mounted structure in wind. I suppose the other way would be to use a 25 foot mast, bracketed to the side of my house, but again, that's rather involved for me at this point.
Any ideas whether a DB8 mounted on the roof (25-30 feet) might have any luck getting NBC?
Thanks again for all your help,
Jon
