VHF Antennas for RF 4 and 7

[Captain Midnight]

Found these in a ditch today! Measurements and dipole calculation shows they are for Ch 4 and 7. Makes sense because the local NBC and ABC were 4 and 7.

How good would this RF4 antenna work for the rest of the low VHF band? I need something for my system that can catch low band to go with my Televes UHF and Stellar Labs Hi band yagi.

Are you looking to pick up a specific signal on channels 2, 3 or 5 or do you have VHF DX-ing in mind?

You'll need an HLSJ to combine them with the rest of your system. SEPARATOR / JOINER HIGH LOW VHF FREQUENCY OFF AIR JVI HLSJ 736902313442 | eBay

I bought one last year with this in mind. Thanks.

I'm wanting to DX the low band. None of my market local uses it. WMC in Memphis is still on RF5 and around 100 miles away. I am thinking about maybe modifying it with a dipole for RF2 and maybe RF6. But I am curious on how efficient it is currently for the entire Low band as-is.

UHF and HIGH vhf go into the HI side. LOW vhf goes into the LOW side, and the remaining one is to the tv set or preamp then tv set.

It sounds as if you are already quite knowledgable. That said, there is no way to know for sure without playing around with it (and that is the fun part).

Same here too Albuquerque's TV metro areas don't have VHF low band stations and yet have to see any new FCC CP.

Planing to use for TV DXing.

Very interested in how good is the VHF low band antenna performance is?
