Ok so i managed to get this thing up without killing myself. Good news is where i placed it it has a clear view beyond my neighbours tree. Right now it is just the antenna with about 30 feet of rg6-quad hooked up to it.

Channels I get (just showing the main channel):

4.1 - 100%
7.1 - 75%
20.1 - 80%
28.1 - 50%
29.1 - 60%
31.1 - 60%
38.1 - 80%
50.1 - 40%
51.1 - 85%
56.1 - 75%
62.1 - 75%

To be honest I wasnt expecting to get so many of these. According to the tvfool report some of these should be almost impossible. Anyways I had a couple of questions. The antenna bobs around a bit in the wind. Should I be putting guy wires on it? Also can anyone see any issues with my mounting method? And thirdly I am planning on connecting the antenna to the outside rg6 i had run for the satellite. I would estimate the total rg6-quad at about 70 - 100 feet. Is an amplifier needed for this length?

Thanks for all the help guys. I really appreciate all the information i have gotten so far.

Oh and does anyone think i can pull in fox if i add a c5?
