Just for discussion, let's say a TV LPDA has a gain of 8 dBi. It will cover the entire VHF TV band, and by superimposing a UHF LPDA on the same mast, can cover the entire UHF TV band with similar gain figures.
I'd make this challenge: I could TRY to hide a TV band LPDA on my property and beg you to find it. Even well hidden, you would. Now, give me a few hours to build a narrow band antenna with similar gain in ANY 6 MHz segment of the same bands, and let me try to hide it. Do you think I could hide it well enough you wouldn't find it? I know I can. My point is, the antenna which will be needed for any segment of the whitespace will be much less intrusive than the LPDA (or Yagi) being used for comparison. This is great dialogue. I hope we are faced with the challenge of deploying in these bands. Mike -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
