Thanks GUM,
Talked to the owner and he was not really thrilled about the idea of me putting anything on the chimney, but he said that he couldn't prevent me from doing it by using one of those bands. He did say that he would do a 80/20 split (he paying 80) with me if I would choose to do an attic install and leave the antennas behind if I one day moved.
So in the interest of staying on good terms with my landlord (and get the financial incentive), I think I'll try the attic install first.
I kind of like the idea of doing a separate antenna for each frequency range, mostly due to size. But a couple of follow up questions;
- are there any requirements for spatial separation between VHF & UHF antennas?
- what is the difference between the different types of UHF antennas (i.e. Antenna craft MXU59 and U8000) and which type would you recommend in my situation?
- from reading quite a few posts, it seems like the Antenna Craft antenna's are often recommended, are they the best quality and deal or are there any other brands that are worth considering as well?
Thanks for your help in clearing up my mind and helping me along the way. I really appreciate the time and effort y'all give, to help all of us with a lot of questions.
