Tv Antennas and Reception

Well then with W22DO-D transmitter located to the south and transmitting on UHF 22 , that makes it simple. To start with aim a Winegard YA1713 VHF High band antenna at WNNY-DT 7 at 337 degree magnetic compass. Next aim a Antennas Direct 91XG UHF only antenna at about 180 degree magnetic compass and you will get every thing except the Syracuse channels at 251 magnetic compass and 276 magnetic compass , ION is located at 276 magnetic compass the other Syracuse channels are at 251 magnetic compass , the Syracuse stations will not be received. Connect the 2 antennas with a UHF / VHF combiner , like a Pico Macom model UVSJ. The UVSJ combines the 2 antennas into one down lead , the one down lead is then connected to a Winegard AP8700 preamp and that one lead from the preamp can then be split 2 to 3 way with a simple splitter. It's real simple and won't cost much money. You still won't have ION or any of the stations that are in the direction of Syracuse and thats Ok because you will have all the other networks , NBC , ABC , CBS , FOX , MyNetwork , CW , PBS , and a religion station from the direction of Utica. I have ION where I live and the main ION channel has went to very violent programing so it's no great loss.
