Hi,

wouldn't the Winegard HD7084P more appropriate in my case instead of the Winegard HD7080P ?
I was looking at the VHF reception range, approximately 80 miles for the 7084 Vs 50 miles for the 7080.
The distance from Fredericton to Mount Champlain (CTV is the hardest station for me to get) is about 70 miles.

Also, will I need an amplifier or shall I first try without and then get it if needed?

Also, coming to the antenna sizes, I read width: 110 in., is it indeed so large or am I missing something?

FYI, yesterday I posted this question on digitalhome forum too but did not get any reply yet.

Thank you!
Alex
