I was afraid that those panels being in the line of sight for Mt. Wilson would cause some sort of interference.

On another note, I was reading some Australian TV antenna forums and discovered that the loooong elements on VHF antennas are for stations 0-5 and could possibly cause more FM and other low-band interference. Many stations here are now H-VHF and UHF, and this HD-8200XL is more of a broad spectrum design. (FM, L-VHF, H-VHF, UHF)
I was thinking of folding in the longest elements to test that theory out.
Any input on this?
