Update: thanks to the links here and $20, I now have a Stealth Hawk 289 up on the side of the house, a bit lower than the roof antenna--about 18'--and am pulling in many of the stations in green on my signal report. Apparently, yes, channel 6 previously was a lucky bounce.
But, of course, one station I would like at the hi end of UHF, channel 51 Univision, doesn't come in. It's right at the edge of the red band too, although I get a few channels listed just a bit above it just fine.
Due to a few factors (cable runs, roof pitch) I doubt I'll be putting anything on my old mast for now. But would a different homebrew antenna design (bowtie or GH) give better gain in the high UHF channels?
