Gotta have it to get in the door at MDUs.
Thankfully for me, the two DMAs have their important stations in pretty much two spots downtown Chicago (Sears Tower and Hancock Center) and just west of Rockford (two sites, but roughly the same angle from me). Per antennaweb, some stations I need red, some blue, and some violet. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck McCown via AF" <[email protected]> To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, December 6, 2020 12:27:54 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OTA Receive Antennas Different channels have wildly different RX levels. I would start with any generic antenna and do a spectrum analysis. See if you need gain for particular antennas. Too much signal can mess up a channel too. And even having plenty of signal does not mean it will work. If there is multipath a strong signal will be ignored by the receiver. I would use a small indoor antenna mounted up in an attic space if I could get away with it. But why start IPTV now? I have done two systems and will never do it again.

If your just looking for a quality UHF antenna the 8 bay bowtie from channel master is a quality antenna.

I know an antenna is an antenna, but for instance, I know build quality is a thing. If standard consumer-grade is fine, so be it. -----Mike HammettIntelligent Computing SolutionsMidwest Internet ExchangeThe Brothers WISP -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
