Dave,

Ordered the distribution amp and more coax and usvj.

I read tigerbangs post about grounding and he, and you (kinda) make it sound like getting a diff. antenna (Antennacraft BU-33), will be like an out of this world difference to what I have now. I get a little breakup occasionally still from a couple channels, its a little annoying, not super annoying. Will I pick up even more channels with the antennacraft? I was thinking about buying that alone, and seeing how it works, and combine with a uhf antenna for youngstown later (if necessary). I wouldnt buy a preamp either, I would test it with just the antenna first (unless you strongly suggest a preamp). His nascar joke makes it sound like I'm really missing out on what could be. Can I side mount the BU-33 on one of the legs of the tower, as opposed to mounting to the mast?

Actually Dave, I want to do this right. And give my wife peace of mind that she can invite people over to watch a show and not have breakup. Can you verify that everything you recommended in the beginning I should still buy. Or just tell me what to buy one more time. At this stage I wasted my money on the MANT940, a philips amplifier, and time. Thats about it. I would like to piece meal things, and slowly upgrade my system, but that may end up costing more shipping in the long run. I may just order it all at once. I am going to have one of the guys at work do a tower analysis on the tower to make sure it can hold me. Its a little tricky getting up to the mast, especially installing the BU-33. An 80" boom length, not sure how much it weighs, I would pretty much be installing it one handed. Thats why I asked if it can be installed on one of the legs of the tower. I have the coax, distribution amp (to hook it up to 4 tvs) and the usvj.

Also, could I just get one antenna and point the MANT toward youngstown? I think before you said I cant do that...

Thanks

Thanks again...
