Hi Teleview,
Thanks for your quick responses.
I was planning on planting a 50ft telescoping mast at the side of my house (Channel Master or ROHN). I don’t have room at the back. I was thinking I could bracket it to the wall at several points to give more stability and guy it to the roof for the 25 ft of mast above the roof line. Initially I thought I would put a rotor and 5ft mast on top so I could tweak the direction if need be.
I do have a little concern about the HD7698P. I looked at this initially, and decided against something to long. Since I will be mounting at the side of my house, I don’t want to boom to cross the property line to my neighbour’s. The houses are somewhat close: about 5ft apart. 185 degrees points the boom directly over my neighbour’s house. Even though it would be 50+ feet in the air, I don’t want any local by-law nonsense.
In your opinion, are there any other antennas that can increase my signal strength, without being so long.
Would simply raising my DB4e (or any other bowtie type) do anything for me?
Again thank you for all of your information.
PS. This TVFool website is absolutely awesome!!
