Yup I tried pointing two different bow ties two different direction and always lost my weakest channel. So that being said a db8e would not be an antenna of my choice. So ironically I added 60" wire every 1" latterly to my reflector. This was in effort to get reel chanel 44 better. And so far it seems about the same I get some dropouts mostly during the sunny days. Any how the extra width has me picking up reel Chanel 9.1 9.2 these were the main two channels I experimented with. turning the bow ties in different directions. So all in all sofar so good.but like ground mast said as soon as you point the panels away from same point you do loose gain.and that equals lost channels if your on the fringe area.i would just try the db8 the way it is if your not happy with it. Start over. I started over 4 times before the point im at today.and I'm still experimenting. That's most the fun. Well sometimes. ����
