@ teleview,

Thank you for the additional info on the splitter and A/B switch.

I had the chance this week end to test a home made prototype of an 8 bay bowtie. Was able to get quite a few channels aiming @ +/- 227/240 degrees. It was at 26' AGL w/o any masts wires the last 12'. Didn't feel safe going any higher for this test.

You mentioned a , http://www.antennacraft.net , 10G201 preamplifier. I check in my area but no one carries it, I know I can order on line but was hoping to be able to get it locally for any support issues. There were only two that I could find locally an RCA model # TVPRAMP1R (about $25.00) and DigiTenna model # DT-RAMP20-1 ($60.00). Do you or any body else know if either of these would be any good? Return polices for both are very easy. $60.00 is a bit more than what I can spend, but I don't want to do this twice either so I might have to wait awhile.

The http://www.antennacraft.net , 10G201 preamplifier is priced in between these other two but would/could order on line if it is much better.

One TV location but cable goes through VCR/DVD/TV (This is the way my son has it set up to record DVD's from what he explained to me).
