Antenna directions

The attached picture is my roof antenna.... does the V shape the way it is now point to the transmitters or do I turn it around and the stem part points to the transmitters?

Thanks

It looks as if the reflectors (V shape) are mounted backward or the boom (stem) is.

Here is an example similar to your antenna, a UHF Yagi type antenna with corner reflector: http://www.winegarddirect.com/viewit...P%29&p=HD9075P

In the drawing, the back of the antenna is on the left, attached to a mast. The end closest to the transmitter is on the right side of the drawing.
