    Wiring for OTA / Indoor or Outdoor Antenna

    Terk antenna's are junk. A good quality outdoor antenna will do you a lot better than any glitzy plastic coated stuff hawked as digital ready, hd, etc. If you are a diy kinda person, Google Hovermann, those Canadians are doing some cool stuff.

    Having more than one antenna?

    Using two antenna's with a reverse connected splitter MAY work out for you. It MAY NOT, it depends on your local conditions. You WILL loose 3 db of signal (50%) from each antenna going through a splitter. No free lunch. Radio propagation and antenna design has been around a long time, there...

    Will a GH work for me? Hello I'm in zip 58220, and have a lot of Canadian stations ~70 miles north of me, mostly VHF low band. I have only 3 US post-transition stations almost 180 degrees apart. Should be no trouble picking up the US stations, once they come on-line next weekend. My...
