Sunday night I put together the antenna. I ran my 100' cable from where I had the antenna (granted it was on my back porch but I wanted to at least test it) and wanted to see if I got something. I didn't get any reception at all. My house sits on a hill, so the back porch is about 10 ft AGL. I had the antenna pointed up at an angle at that direction. I didn't get anything. I did notice that the matching transformer ( the coax end) was able to free spin inside the insulation. I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not. The funny thing about it, is I tested out a $10 Big Lots indoor antenna special (amplified) and was able to watch FOX (17.1) just fine. Granted it was the ONLY station I picked up, but still.
