*** And from my original question.  Is it a good bet to install this
well-regarded amplified TV antenna?  Bearing in mind that I will be
helpless if the internal amp suffers fundamental overload at HF?  Or
should I just pack it off back to Amazon and install something like a
bowtie - bearing in mind that we are getting very decent - but not 100% -
reception with a mere 300-ohm folded dipole "FM Antenna" tacked to the
wall.
