Hi Everyone:
Learned a lot from you all so far, about aiming, and such, now I'm going to go out on a limb, well roof really, and try something new.
I have a Clearstream 2V antenna that is mounted on the roof of our little place which is on Northville Cres, in Lambton Shores, Ontario.
Here is the TV fool report.

Hope that comes out O.K.
I have the antenna aimed into the south east and it works really well. I get 6 or 7 channels and #6 on the chart, is trying to come in the side, but can't quite make it. Experimenting, I pointed the antenna towards the south west and it brought in those channels - Detroit? - pretty as well. I was surprised, giving that it's only 15 feet of the ground, and we are surrounded by huge oak trees. I'm guessing the 75 foot sand dune behind is providing a little reflection.
So, I'm thinking, after reading all the posts, about installing a second antenna for the south west direction to pull in those channels. I could put one about 7 feet away from the current one, and still not fall off the roof. Well, maybe. I read that I need to install two bits of coax, and they are to be exactly the same length, into a joiner, not a plain splitter and then an amplifier.
My question is, should I buy the same type of antenna or a plain UHF as all the stations to the south west seem to be UHF? And, I can't find the posting that said what kind of joiner to use and what amp. Ideas please?!
Or, would a rotor be a better idea?
Thanks for any ideas. I've already fallen off one roof this summer, so I'm going carefully on this.
