A way to reduce the horiable results of combining 2 identical antennas that are aimed in varring degrees of seperate directions with common Direct Wire reversed 2 way splitter is use a more specialized type of splitter.

-------

In the old days the name was Hybrid Splitter.

A decoupled splitter.

A microstripline decoupled splitter.

A capacitor decoupled splitter.

A isolation transformers decoupled splitter.

A modified directional coupler.

The coaxes that connect the coupler/splitter to the seperate identical antennas will be the same length.

The identical antennas will be close to each other to reduce the out of phase signal reflections of the 2 antennas situation.

This type of antenna combining worked ~ Ok ~ with Analog Tv reception and works better with Digital Tv reception because Digital Tv reception because the Digital tuner can correct out of phase (multi-path) up to a certain point.

-----------------

The DB8e antenna has a wide beam width even with both panels aimed the same direction.

The Canada Digital Tv stations to the East are Strong Signal Strength.

The USA Tv stations to the South East at about 145 degree magnetic compass direction are Very Weak Signal Strength.

Aim both panels of the DB8e antenna at about 145 degree magnetic compas direction for the best reception of the the USA Tv stations.

And the Wide beam width of the DB8e antenna will most likely receive the Strong Signal Strength Canada Tv stations to the East.
