[Amps] Amplified TV Antenna

[Bill Fuqua]

A local TV station here in Lexington, Ky ended up preplacing their new VHF 
DTV transmitter and antenna with
an new UHF one.  The problem is that when ever customers bought antennas 
the stores only carried UHF antennas.
And they got so many complaints that they gave up and went to UHF. I am 
sure it cost them a bundle.
I am also their advertisers put pressure on them to since many of them had 
trouble receiving the station.
