well, the installation was a success. 50.4 miles los from the tower (empire state building) the antennacraft hd1850 grabbed those signals, with authority. It's up almost 35 feet
My street, which is blue turning violet on the maps, well it nailed all of them. Signal strength is pinned at 100% on many channels. The preamp 10g212 worked very well too. I receive under optimum conditions, almost 50 channels.
My advice to anyone with a deep fringe issue is spend the $140 and buy this monster. Nobody has ever, ever, ever said "i installed too big an antenna, it has too much gain."
