If you had a DB8 in the living room, where is it now? Have you installed it up in the air aimed at Sutro to see what it would pick up?

Ok, so 35 degrees is considered directional. I thought directional would be something like 10 degrees.

So the C4 that I will have has 43 degrees, that's somewhat directional then.
I guess the problem with that one is lower gain compared to the ones others have suggested.


I tried the db8 an year ago. At that time I compared it to rabbit ear indoor antenna and didn't get any difference in # of stations. So I returned it.

I've always had cable, so OTA hasn't been a must have. Though this time I'm going to try harder to see if it's possible to make it work.
It sounds like if I get the right equipment and do it right, I might get Sutro tower to come in on UHF. NBC is on VHF so I'm not sure if I want to spend the extra money and effort to get that. As I understand it VHF antenna are usually huge!
