Thanks for the welcome Rabbit73 and the advice is always welcome especially considering I hardly have a clue. Actually, my apartment is on the 3rd (top) floor of the building and so, thankfully, puts me above most of the obstructions I am able to see (Windsor Heights is primarily residential). As far as selction of the antenna goes and deciding whether or not I going to spring for a more powerful preamp is pretty much on hold right now. I want to see what youse guys decide would be the best indoor type antenna in my price range and/or what kind of a Rube Goldberg gizmo I can gin up to mount my 1450BF to the ceiling and make it so it can be adjusted in a wide an arc as possible. But before I get too carried away with THAT notion, I'm going to have to try orienting the antenna horizontally to determine if that does anything significant to improve its performance. TRUST ME on this: Youse guys will be VERY MUCH in the loop all the way through this grand adventure we're about to embark on!
