Good eye! It's about 60' away.

When I was testing/adjusting/testing the dipole, one of the checks was the height above the ProPanel - in 6" increments (pipe nipples :-) Where it sits is where the signals strengths were best. I'm guessing the ProPanel is acting as a ground plane.

My bad. I was referring to the video carrier, ATSC pilot, and audio carrier frequencies.

So I was about to pull the trigger on an HBU11 when I reminded myself -
What I have works. What isn't working is the tuner in the TV. I should be able to find a converter box easily. Unless they're all in the landfills. With one of those I should be able get a better idea how the dipole is performing. Yes?
