I built a simple dipole antenna and mounted it my attic just below my 4-bay antenna (2 sections of 2.85' #10 wire, configured horizontally). Since I have not received my HLSJ yet, I used a splitter/joiner to merge the vhf 1/2 wave with the uhf 4-bay. NOTE: yes I realize the HLSJ is what I need but this was an experiment.
Splitter and Joiners used are 5-1000Mhz sliptter/joiners made by Toner (yup had them for a while)
*Configuration:
4BayAnt(300/75 trans)-->Joiner(Input A -3.5db)
halfWaveVHFAnt(300/75 trans)-->Joiner(Input B -3.5db)
Joiner(Output)-->LevitonAmp(FM trap off)-->Splitter(Input)
Splitter(Output A -3.5db)-->15'Coax-->TV1
Splitter(Output B -3.5db)-->40'Coax-->TV2
*Results:
All UHF channels are between 70%-100% except Channel 34 (that one is at 45%)
Channel 6 is now at 100%.
