A few days ago I noticed that one of my neighbors in our deed restricted neighborhood had erected an outdoor TV antenna, complete with a rotor and heavy duty mast to raise it above the roof line. Som
I'd suspect that the 45 foot height advantage plus having the antennas out in the open is going to make up for any gain losses due to it being an LPA. 73, Zack W9SZ __________________________________

I do not know how well these work, but I have been thinking about one for our restricted mountain cabin. I think it will work well at 2500 ft in the mountains, at least better than the loops and w
Hi everyone, I'm new to the group, but I thought I would weigh in. I would think simply putting up the same type of antenna as your neighbor did would yield better results on 6 and 2 than the indoo

Speaking for some personal experiments several years ago, you should see at least a 10 dB increase in signal levels, depending on the frequency, your roof materials and the height increase over the o
I agree, George and Sebastian are right on, just tell them it is a TV antenna. The roof material is definately a huge loss especially at the highter frequencies. Even an unmodified TV LPDA will
Les: Depending on the construction of your home, you may or may not see too much of a difference. The exterior LPA will have substantially less gain than the single band antennas, but if your roof ha
