Gees son do you live in a cave lined in lead?

I though I had it bad with a half dozen in 20db half dozen more above 14db but I am a good 55+ miles from the antennas so its flakey... especially during sun up.

you don't have signal ... you have negative signal..

I made my own 4bay and stuck an RCA 22db amp on it but i need something a bit stronger.. I don't think the RCA is really putting out 22db probably 12db.
probably should go with a commercial antenna too but I did get a little help with the design so it should actually be a 10-15db antenna...

I really like when people list their real results about products because it lets other people realize that some of the ratings that might work on a bench in a lab aren't what you get in the real world even if you follow every step perfectly.....

I am actually looking at a 100db distribution amp on ebay direct from china figure its probably 40db actual heh... but still it has a gain dial on it so


Son you give me hope .. you an your black hole of antenna signals .. heh
