Thanks to all that replied. Even if I didn't use a given suggestion, I appreciated all of them. It allowed me to make better decisions.
Antennaweb was a very helpful resource. Even up here in Jersey Village, I'm only 23-24 miles from the Dewalt antenna site(s) as the crow flies. I had a 6' Pyle speaker stand ($30) I bought to replace the one that came with my Alpha Antenna system, so I took that and a $35 outdoor 30 mile range VHF/UHF antenna that was so light it only takes one U bolt to hold it to the stand. Put the stand on my 2nd floor balcony and ran coax to the TV. Ran channel scan and now I can watch football, Saturday afternoon hockey when it's on NBC, The Big Bang Theory and PBS. I'm a cappy hamper. If you take the set top box rent ($10/mo) + Local channel service ($10/mon), this solution will pay for itself in 4 months. The only thing I have to do is bring the tripod in at night. 73, Rob, KC5RET ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information of Cameron and its Operating Divisions.
