Yes is Ok to Test Reception the Tv stations/channels , no mater how weak the signal strengths are.

To that end , here are some , antennas , amplifiers , antenna mounts.

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

Antenna System #1.

It looks like ,

http://www.warenelectronics.com . Has the Winegard HD5030 , VHF channels 2 thru 6 antenna.

http://www.warenelectronics.com/antennas/HD5030.htm.

install a , http://www.antennacraft.net.

10G201 preamplifier.

Aim the the HD5030 antenna at about 349 degree magnetic compass direction.

For reception of ,

WBKP , Real VHF low band channel 5 , ABC and CW.

WBKP is very strong signal strength and will be received through the back angle of the antenna.

CKRP-DT , Real VHF low band channel 2 , CBC.

CHFD-DT , Real VHF low band channel 4 , GTN.

CICO-DT , Real VHF High band channel 9 TVO.

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

Antenna system #2.

Antennas Direct , DB8e , current UHF channels 14 thru 51.

http://www.amazon.com.

Install a , http://www.kitztech.com.

KT-200-COAX Tv , Antenna Booster , Remote Power-CoaxFed.

Aim the , DB8e antenna at about , 154 degree magnetic compass direction.

To Test for reception of ,

WLUC-TV , Real UHF band channel 35 , NBC and FOX and America One.


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

Antenna System #3.

http://www.antennacraft.net.

HBU55 , VHF high band channels 7 thru 13 antenna aimed at about 153 degree magnetic compass direction.

Install a ,

http://www.antennacraft.net.

10G201 preamplifier.

Aim the HBU55 antenna at about , 153 degree magnetic compass direction.

For reception of WNMU-DT , Real VHF high band channel 13.


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

Here is how to aim antennas ,

http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.

Use a Real and Actual magnetic compass to aim antennas , do not trust a , cell phone , tablet and etc. compass.

As always , the antenna aim and location can be adjusted for best reception.

Most Digital Tv's have a Signal Strength Meter and some Digital Tv's will also have a Signal Quality Meter.

When the signal strength is strong enough for reliable , then Signal Quality becomes more important then more signal strength.

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

The antenna systems are All Separate antenna systems and are not connected together.

Separate Coaxes go to the Tv.

At the Tv location.

Separate Digital Tuner/Tuner Recorders are connected to the Separate antenna systems.

Here are some Tall/High antenna mounts.

http://www.ronard.com/712.html

Above the Peak of the Roof install the , ronard(712-50-10) , 10 foot tripod antenna mount.

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

Home Depot has , 10 foot 6 inch length , 1 and 3/8 inch diameter , TOP RAIL , chain link fence , PIPE , that makes good antenna mast/pipe , the price is low at about 12 dollars.

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

Here are , Free Standing , No Guy wires , Light Weight Aluminum , Lay over Towers.
