Did I just have an epiphany? Let’s assume I’m willing to take low-VHF capability off the table, let’s further assume the miss’s and I like different programming, it’s a stretch I know. Utilizing two antennas with the 1st at the uppermost mounting (20’) is a direct able antenna (with rotor) and the 2nd antenna is in a fixed position mounting (16’) aimed to magnetic 172°. This combination seems to provide the sweet spot coverage at 172° and also satisfy the gambler in me hoping for other channels.
I’m guessing here but to reduce the systems complexity, each antenna could be dedicated to an area. The 1st area (upper floor) is supplied by the fixed position antenna aimed at 172° and serving two HDTV’s plus one relic. The 2nd area (lower floor) is supplied by the direct able antenna with rotor serving one relic TV. Assuming the control and signal of the rotor equipped antenna can reasonably be accessed by only one area, it would serve 2nd area.
Is this a workable concept and does it change the antenna(s) or accessories? Can I expect the direct able antenna’s signal strength when rotated to 172° will mirror that of the fixed position antenna? Does this bring into play the dual RG6 cabling mentioned earlier? Thanks in advance.
