Install the CS600 about 3 feet below the DB8e on the same mast pipe.

As a always , trees and tree leaves , plants and plant leaves , have a Negative Effect on Broadcast Tv Reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own roof and building in the directions of reception.
~snip~

The Best Practice for Reliable Reception is to install the antennas at a location that has the Least Amount to No Amount of Obstructions of Any Type or Kind in the directions of reception including your own roof and building.
Thank you for the links and the info.

I like the idea of using antenna's specific to frequencies they target. Also like the adjustable panels of the (UHF) Antennas Direct , DB8e.


While I understand mounting antenna(s) in "Free Air" is most desirable this weekend I was briefly able to get up into the attic on the "3rd" story of the house. (Approx 30ft from ground level)

Based upon the numbers you are seeing in the TV fool report, is there any chance antenna's being mounted within the protective shell of the roof would work well?
Roof=Conventional construction, 2x8 joists, plywood or OSB decking, asphalt shingles.
(50% in signal reduction, right?)
