Challenges
With the antenna I made, I didn't put a reflector on it so I had a better chance of pulling in 51. In my future I will be putting a tripod mount on the roof. That will gain 10 or more feet to my setup. We just moved a modular building on site and are converting into a house. Right now the antenna is on a 20 ft. pipe clamped to a 4x4 deck post.
It's interesting, but I am very rural and have a great view. My wife would like to get the pbs channel 21 back so I think I'll need to add a second vhf (?) antenna to get it back. For now as long as CBS on channel 10 stays strong I'm happy.
I'm just not sure why that little Lava antenna my neighbor uses does so good.
