Pratical and Useful Information.
As always , mileage numbers are a broad generaliation that is for the general pubilic as a general guide.
My recommendations are based on several factors.
The strength of the Tv reception at the location of reception.
The directions of the transmitters and how strong or weak the signals are in different directions.
Distance to the transmitters.
Obstructions between the transmitters and receiving antenna.
The channels that are to be received.
What antenna or antennas will best receive the Tv signals.
The HD7694P Type and Kind of antenna is a directional antenna that receives the best in the forward direction , a little less at forward angles to the antenna and less at back angles and back of the antenna.
The HD7694P antenna is a small directional antenna so it is less directional then a big directional antenna.
A small directional antenna of the HD7694P Type and Kind of antenna is indicated for reception at your location because the Tv transmitters are different directions at your location.
It is a balance of forward gain of the antenna and the ability of the antenna to receive at angles to the antenna.
Directional antennas receive the least amount of signal directly on the sides of the directional antenna.
If you look at the directions of the transmitters and the recommended starting antenna aim direction you will see that aim direction is a compromise aim direction to receive the transmitters at about 28 degree magnetic compass direction and the ION station WHPX at 97 degree magnetic compass direction and at the same time including the Tv transmitters at other directions/angles to the HD7694P antenna.
--------------------
The Panel Type and Kind of Antennas that your suggesting are more directional then the HD7694P Type and Kind of antenna.
A type and kind of antenna that is More Directional and receives less at angles to the antenna will receive less signal from the transmitters that are at angles to the Panel type antenna.
---------
This My evaluation and recommendation for receiving the most Tv stations/channels with 1 antenna aimed in 1 direction and no antenna rotator.
------------------
Other people will have other evaluations.
-----------------
As always you are free to evaluate and choose the antenna that you choose.
