If your shielding of the dish doesn’t solve the problem you could also try shielding the feedhorn. A cylinder made of hardware cloth might do the trick.

It goes between the dish and the 5 G cell tower.

The size of the dish would suggest it’s 23 GHz. Those links are usually less than one watt.

The Radome was torn.

It would look like a small backstop for a baseball diamond. The 1/10 wavelength rule is true, so 1/4” hardware cloth would be the material of choice. The size would be slightly larger than the area of your dish and feed horn.

It sounds interesting. I tried to google aircaster, and found the name in wide use already, including an ASI to IP multiplexer/QAM modulator by Blonder Tongue to a fixture to move heavy packages using compressed air.

I expect that ATSC 3.0 will work better than 1.0 on VHF. There are two reasons for this, 1. The characteristics of thousands of narrowband carriers if OFDM at low data rates will outperform 8 VSB on both impulse noise and coherent interference sources. 2. ATSC 3.0 includes time division...

The green line is the terrain between the transmitter on the left and your location on the right. The purple line starts at the transmitter and ends at the first mountain in the way. The dotted line is the direct path from the transmitter to you. In your case It drops below the earth’s...

Also, the ground on the coax, even on an indoor antenna, is there to prevent induced current from a nearby lightning strike, from damaging equipment.

I’m not familiar with the SDR software that you are using, but the pilot carrier on 54.310 suggests to me that it is an ATSC 1.0 station. This is E-skip season and channel 2 is the best channel for sporadic E. Based on the distance for E-skip, I’d guess KJWP in Wilmington, DE.

A combination of an extremely directional antenna along with the trees is killing you. The 4228 that you installed is a fine antenna for one, and only one, of the two directions that you can get. If you want both directions, try a bidirectional antenna.

That worked on my Hisense, thanks!

In my opinion it’s an exaggeration just to get you to watch the YouTube video.

My guess would be arcing in the start switches that is creating energy at 4 GHz that is reaching the C band feed horn. I say this because I’ve seen a small engine magneto cause a loss of all C band signals until the engine was turned off. Can you put the wires to the pump switches in conduit?

Tilting an antenna upwards can improve signal strengths if the antenna is mounted either too high or too low. But, it’s better to aim the antenna horizontally and find the heights that get the strongest signal. Note that an antenna tilted upwards has less ground gain than an antenna not tilted...

Your two antenna plan makes sense. Just use a UVSJ to combine them.

I agree with your final assessment, you should look for a height that picks up everything. To understand what you’re seeing, read this and skim down to ground reflections. Siting the antenna The trick is to try and find a single antenna height where none of your UHF signals are weak. On your...

I stand corrected. The Radio Shack device sounds like a true UVSJ. Meanwhile, I endorse Jim5606’s advice for equal cable lengths matters only for identical antennas aimed in the same direction. Also, as Jim5506 advises, UHF and VHF antennas should always be combined in a UVSJ, and never a...

That Radio Shack device is a simple splitter that works for VHF-FM-UHF. It won’t add VHF and UHF antennas efficiently.

I’d give this one a try; https://store.antennasdirect.com/UHF-VHF-Antenna-Combiners.html

A response to the original question The suggestion that you use a type F to BNC adapter and a 75 ohm 2-way TV splitter is the easiest solution. That however, does not address antenna polarization differences between TV and two-way. A Horizontally polarized TV antenna will not be efficient...

I found an internal picture on-line of the 4 tuner design of the Silicon Dust Quattro. There is an MMIC preamp ahead of the four tuners. I would guess that it is an NXP BGU7044. That chip has a noise figure of 2.8 db and a gain of 14 db. The split to 4 tuners end would up overriding the noise of...

I like your selection of an eave mount. I appreciate that eave mounts allow access while standing on a ladder and not while standing on the roof. Eave mounts also avoid penetrating the roof membrane and don’t need to be removed when the shingles require replacement.

Some of the confusion about 5G is that it can mean two things to the general public. There is an unlicensed band at 5 GHz that some carriers have used on poles in neighborhoods. 5G is actually a COFDM signal type that can be used at any frequency. T-Mobile has deployed 5G at 600 MHz. Verizon...

Here is a rabbitears report for the location trabin specified in his profile. https://www.rabbitears.info/s/450206 WLIW (RF channel 32) looks like the only 21.1 to me.
