[verb247]

Jake V,

I decided to alter your recommended testing slightly and use 2 additonal different antennas as the HG0n antenna is sort of cumbersome to remove from the attic only to possibly reinstall later. Also I dont have a lot of cross boards installed up there making the task more acrobatic. I used a RCA ANT111 (borrowed from my mother-in-law) and the fractal antenna previouly mentioned. I used a single 25ft RG59 cable. Please note that p means pixed and w stands for weak signal.

Here are my results:

Front of the house @ 108 degrees

RCA 6ft - 4p, 6, 8, 20, 26, 32, 38, 42, 54

Fractal 4.5ft - 4, 6, 8p, 20, 26, 27, 32, 33, 38, 42, 44p, 49p, 54


Back yard @ 290 degrees

RCA 4.5ft 4, 20,26,38,54

Fractal 4.5ft 4p, 20, 26p, 33p, 42p, 44, 54p


Attic 108 degrees

RCA 4, 8 26, 38, 42, 54

Fractal 4, 6, 8, 26, 38, 42, 44, 49, 54

GH0n 108 degrees 4, 6, 8, 20, 26, 27, 33, 38, 42, 49, 54

I noticed that there is metal flashing in front of the antenna so I decided to move it to another location in the attic where there is no flashing.

GH0n moved with 108 degrees 4wp 6wp 8p 20 26 32 38 44 49 54

The problem here was that the new location forced me to put the antenna on the nearest stud making it lean back instead of sitting up right. Also, the top part came loose from the screws. I placed a board on top of ant between the studs, re-positioned the antenna in a more up right fashion, repaired the loose elements and placed a screw between the antenna board and the board across the studs so nothing would move.

GH0n move 2 108 degrees 4 6pw 8 20 26 27 32 38 42 44 49wp 54

This is the most channels I got up to date. I checked channel 6 and it only had 1-2 bars signal strength while 49 was at 50%.

I have attached pics of each antenna.
