    Odds of pulling in stations 90 miles away?

    Just wait for the troposphere to do something funny and then you can pull it in with a 12 inch telescoping antenna off a radio that is soldered to a piece of coax. I think if you had a large antenna shoved 40 to 50 feet in the air, and had a pleasant landscape between the two areas you could...

    So I can take a splitter, turn it around, and use it to combine? Also, does anyone know the wavelength range of uhf vhf signals? Since I am on a metal roof, if this is anything like ham radio and scanner reception, I need the antenna at least a wavelength from the roof.

    I was hoping to pull in Quad Cities, Springfield, and St. Louis, however I'm not sure that will all be possible in the Macomb area land.

    You guys won't believe this... I was playing around today and went to the lumber store and got a 10 foot piece of 1 inch PVC. :) I went on the third floor roof and stood that baby up on end with a 12 inch radio antenna zip tied to it. OMFG, I was pulling in St. Louis and central IL TV...

    My thoughts are, if I can get 40.3 miles, or slightly better, with a 12 inch aluminum antenna I swiped off a radio, surly anything is better. I also have the option of going 10 feet higher. I learned with my ham stuff, higher is better. I was wondering, can I place five directional antenna in a...

    My zip is 62326. Is there a web site that shows where all the towers are? At the moment I have an old 12 inch aluminum antenna off a radio soldered to some coax. With that I am pulling signal from about 50 miles away (line of site). I have the antenna zip tied to a piece of wood that sands...

    I've been looking at the channel master CM-3000A antenna. Any pros and cons to using this type of antenna as a primary antenna for my apartment? Channel Master

    Looking for an OTA tuner....

    From what I've seen the LST-3100A, LST-3410A, LST-3510A, LST-3200A, and LST-4200A all use 4th gen ATSC tuner.

    Is the only difference between the LG LST 3100 and 4200a analog reception?

    Looking for an OTA tuner....

    Yea, I noticed that. So far I'm kind of looking at the LG 3410. And if I can't find one I can afford I guess I'm going after the CM 7000 or something; unless anyone has a better idea. I've looked all over ebay, and those are pretty much the only ones I can find that I like so far. It's also nice...
