Keep it simple for greater reliability and ease of use.
If the antenna is outside, the coax shield should be grounded with a grounding block that is connected to the house electrical system ground with 10 gauge copper wire for electrical safety and to reject interference. For further compliance with the electrical code (NEC), the mast should also be grounded in a similar manner to drain any buildup of static charge, but the system will not survive a direct strike. |
Yes, I will be putting the antenna outside using a chimney mount.
Rabbitears.com is a cool site. Thanks for that. I put the results from the search in a spreadsheet and see that everything I need/want is at 263 degrees. I'm primarily after the big New York stations- wcbs, wnbc, wnyw, wabc, wwor, wpix, wnet. I see there are also some additional ones at 263 degrees also.
A couple of things-
1) My neighbor is having trouble with WNBC (channel 4‑1 (28)) I'm hoping to be able to do something that will enable me to receive this channel.
2) If I have the HD7698P antenna pointed at 263 degrees would I have to change direction to view stations that go to down 260 degrees and up to 270 degrees. Some of these stations might be worth watching. I would love to set and forget the antenna direction if possible (and save on the purchase of a rotator).
