I ordered a ANT751 and it got it hooked up in the space. Now were getting 8/10 on all the channels I was hoping for. The only problem is it's about 3" too long for the space. Right now it's sitting with one end on the floor against one wall, with the other end pointed up about 15 degrees resting on the other wall. I'd rather not leave it like that since the antenna came with such a nice heavy duty mount. I'm wondering If I could shorten the main mast of the antenna up a bit by trimming the ends off and relocating the mast forward a bit.
Here's what I was thinking. I would trim .5"-1" off the front (narrow) end of the antenna at the green mark. I would cut the area off behind the last dipole (green mark) and move the mount forward between the last 2 dipoles where it says "HERE" in the picture. Could I do that without affecting the reception of the antenna?
I've attached a picture to give you guys an idea.
