Yeah I do, I like playing with dangerous toys too.
Nice to see that Antennas Direct has a rep on here though.
My antenna arrived today, I was amazed that the box was so small. Packing isn't great inside, but I suppose that it is just a bunch of metal parts. It appears undamaged despite the abuse FedEx gave the box.

You will be able to get the Cleveland UHF stations just fine, though. However, for Fox and CBS, you will need to add a VHF antenna.
Good luck!

Yeah I don't know what I was thinking when I was adding up the gain. I guess I didn't equate the NM to a SNR number.
I'm positive I can get the Cleveland stations, I just don't want them.
I will point it at columbus and see what happens. If I can't get them reliable I will go after the cleveland stations and add a VHF antenna and combiner. I may pick up a rotator later down the line so I can get the Columbus statons on good days, and swing it over to the Cleveland stations on the bad.
Another quick question, what kind of signal meters will work for the HDTV bands? I've got a basic satellite signal meter from when I was doing Direcway installs, it's self powered, so I may give that a whirl.
