Hello, Need a little advice here. TV reception has been marginal at this QTH since we moved in 8 months ago. Well, that's with an antenna made of 300ohm twinlead thumbtacked to the wall. XYL has been

I get excellent results from an old standby 4x2 bow-tie with reflector. It's a broadband UHF antenna, but also gets enough high-band VHF signal that the set solidly decodes Ch 8 from about 40 miles a

If the associate at your local Radio Shack even knows what an antenna is, that's a couple of steps up from mine. "Sorry, sir, we don't have anything like that ... but we have a special on AA batterie

A related "gotcha": Many people are under the impression that OTA television is now strictly UHF, and lots of UHF-only "HDTV ready" antennas are sold. It isn't true, though. There are still stations

Significantly less impulse noise and interference. Also the allocation formulas favored coverage (higher permitted EIRP) in the low UHF channels and penalized coverage (actual signal levels failed t

I had one of those via Radio Shack. Rabbit ears worked better. I took it back. Maybe they've improved. You would if you run enough power. It'll go off and stay off.<:-)) 73 Roger (K8RI) _____________

There are relatively few full power DTV stations on Channels 2-6, a lot more on 7-13. A quick search of the FCC database will yield details. http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/tv-query-broadcast-station

There is no such thing as a "ground loop" -- it is a totally false concept. The actual cause of the hum/buzz problems we blame on these imaginary "ground loops" are LEAKAGE CURRENT from the AC power

That is not entirely correct. A 'digital' antenna is generally one that is either omni or has a wide beamwidth. A bowtie is a 'digital' antenna. Yagis and logs do not usually work so well. Unfortunat
