Did a scan around 7:30am on 8/31, received digital TV stations from MD and Washington, DC using a Winegard antenna and preamp pointed in a SW direction. WDCW, WDVM, WFDC and WPMT were the four stations receive, not bad for my NJ location. All stations were fading in a out though. Exciting...

Thanks Tyler. I sure miss our store in Flemington, NJ. You can also visit the Radio Shack website.

Welcome to the hobby. Keep at it. When I first started in the hobby 12 years ago it took me 3 months to find my first satellite. But, I was working completely on my own and in the dark. One thing I found out pretty quick was that the location of your dish will affect reception. Moving the dish...

Thanks for all the replies. Geronimo may be correct, it's probably from CT. Reason is that there was a commercial for Shen Yun dance company at the Palace Theater in Stamford. Of course it could be a station from NY that covers CT. I live in Western NJ so it was definitely a DX station.

Great going, thanks,

Haven't posted in a while. Hope everyone's doing well. On a routine scan of OTA TV stations on 7/9/2021 around 2:30 pm local time in my area I picked up 2 analog TV stations. Both were transmitting the same material but one was clear, other was snowy. Clear one was on RF channel 4 (low VHF)...

Haldiram's Indian snacks were at Walmart, very tasty. Bought a bag of this particular mix.

Well, even transponders on the same satellite can have varying signal strengths so what you are seeing is normal.

Well for a tad under 10 grand you can get an Ku LNB, free shipping. Hurry, hurry, hurry!

I've exchanged numerous emails with him regarding antennas and OTA TV in general. He always responds and has valuable experience to share. Back in the '60's I worked for a TV-Radio-Appliance shop and installed TV antennas so what he is doing reminds me of my youth. He's definitely found...

He's an antenna genius. Am glad to see a young person doing this type of work as most of those who did these installations are long gone.

Ku or C?

Watch out Mr. Clean.

I think, if they wanted to change the name, it should have been at least Dash's, not Dash. The human component/factor associated with the product is now gone. Besides, Dash is the name of a laundry detergent.

Tyler is an OTA whiz. We have two analog stations that I still receive here in NJ, but weakly.

If he could marry a 17 year old when he was 93, then there's hope for all of us hihi.

Odd thing was she never applied for the pension when he died.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-nw-last-civil-war-widow-20210107-kemkdgnbe5ch3i37jx4ztwftla-story.html Amazing. She married at age 17 to a 93 year old Civil War vet.

Whoopee, Felix and Oscar marathon today. I get Decades on WDPN-TV in DE. Yagi pointed in that direction for the best signal from here in NJ.

Went to buy some Mrs. Dash seasoning yesterday and couldn't find any, so I bought a product that I thought was similar and it is called "Dash." Come to find out the company removed the "Mrs" from the original product last February. When will this nonsense end?

In the '60's Popular Mechanics published an article on how to build a "Foxhole " radio using a razor blade and a pencil lead. Didn't work for me though.

Yes, I bought it at a hamfest but my mom got me one in the late 50's.

Smoked salmon and some pulled chicken the other day, good eatin'. Used apple chips.

Reason I bought his antenna is that it includes low VHF. I also bought the preamp just to be on the safe side.
