GUM. Thanks. I looked at the plots and the Winegard has less rejection off the side on Ch. 7 compared to the rest of the channels they list.

Do you know how much the Wade antenna costs? That looks like a better antenna. Don't know where to find a Dealer though.

Another thought crossed my mind. The Antennacraft Y10-7-13 apparently has a little more gain than the Winegard YA 1713. Someone on the Canadian board modeled both antennas and found the Antennacraft model has about 2 more DB of gain. Makes sense since it is 20" longer. Since that antenna is so light I might consider still using two separates up there if I only need one VHF to obtain Ch. 7. I'd still be able to eliminate the coupler and would only need the pre amp. Still a better choice than ganging or stacking two VHF only antennas.

What do you think?
