1. Paired with a lo-VHF antenna to get Philly 2 - 69
2. Left by itself to get Allentown 46 and pair a Lo-VHF antenna with the ANT751 for Philly 2 - 69
3. Ditch it and come up with another plan (TBD)

All the above assume the proper UVSJ or HLSJ...I just didn't list them.

Please do not be afraid to say it is junk and don't mess with it.

I would not combine dissimilar antennas on the same band. Instead I would use an A/B switch, or a dedicated tuner like the Homerun HD for each antenna. A/B switch is cheap - http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp...h-%28pvab95%29

You've got the antenna - hook it up by itself and see if you get 46. I presume it's also for the attic, so you don't have to worry much about physical durability. Might be fine.
