Rabbit and Shoman,

Thank you for the quick and informative replies. I was just wondering if anyone could comment on the advantages and disadvantages or the traditional Yagi type antenna like the Winegard HD7698P as compared to a bowtie type antenna like the Antennas Direct DB4e.

I know the bowtie is smaller, but how do they compare on gain/beamwidth. Correct me if I'm wrong, but for my situation I think I need as much antenna gain as possible. As for the DB4e, they also offer an 8 element bowtie with over 17 dB of gain. Can that only help my situation, or is there any downside to this?

Thanks.
