Thanks for the quick replies!
To my layman's eyes the DB8e basically looks like 2 DB4e's connected together -- is this a fair assessment?
If so, if I decided to go with the DB8e to be able to point in both directions at once, would it still be a good idea to remove the reflectors? And if that turned out to not work (or make things work), would reconnecting them with some small nuts and bolts restore their effectiveness (since I can't re-rivet anything)?
With regard to mast height and placement, I'm pretty sure a 10' mast on top of my roof is not going to fly -- all of the coding down here is geared toward reducing damage during catastrophic windstorms (e.g. hurricanes), and the code enforcement people are vigilant. However, I do have a large stretch of flat asphalt roof about 20 feet north of the metal peaked roof -- do you think I could get away with a shorter tripod on this section of roof? It's also in the back (north side) of the house, so it'd be less visible from the front (south side).
Finally, I see both of you recommended Antennas Direct antennas, but not the ClearStream ones that they so heavily advertise here and on the site. Any reason for that?
Thanks again!
- Bill
