A 6-footer is squat. You still have plenty of room for improvement in the
antenna area. For example, I have a 12ft yagi boom antenna on my rooftop with
Yagi's wide enough for all your channels... or do you only get one or two contiguous?
I get every channel broadcast out of Seattle, as well as a few others from nearby areas (FOX comes in fine from a hilltop across the Puget Sound from Seattle and I pick up a few channels out of Bellevue).
Yagi's don't have a very wide bandwidth but they can have good gain.
This one certainly does well on gain. I honestly haven't a clue what impact not having very wide bandwidth has. Are you basically saying they aren't very good at omni-directional reception? That's certainly true with this one, a few degrees can make a big difference in signal quality. Fortunately, everything I care about is within 304 to 307 degrees from me.
Amp as close to the antenna as possible?
There's some component of it that attaches to the antenna mast itself, so there's maybe 6 to 12 inches of cable from the antenna to that, then the other portion sits inside the house right where the connection comes inside.
SNR's, noise figures, and LNAs bringing back horrible undergrad calculation memories... :)
Ooohh, sounds fun... ;-)
quite nicely now, even in less-than-stellar weather conditions (Seattle
area).
P-shaw! Try living in Juneau (or worse yet, Ketchikan), AK! People up there go to Seattle to dry out... :)
Yeah, I have a few college buddies from Juneau and Anchorage who have some stories...
