Before I get a $600 signal analyzer, I need a Fluke MicroScanner² Cable Verifier and IntelliTone Pro Probe first. I can use that to generate money either at work or on a side job or two. I'm suprised Fluke doesn't make a signal meter/analyzer. Maybe I need to read up on the capabilities of...

Several of my friends have expressed interest in switching to antenna as well, and a couple of them want to try out an Antennacraft HD1850 on a rotor. I'd be interested to see what all it would pick up consistently. Who knows, maybe someday I'll have the room/spare cash for a small tower and...

Oh yeah, I know it's skip for that tower. Might be different if I had an elevated LOS on it, but I must adapt with apartment life for the moment. Sadly, I get the best signal when I point it almost due south, almost 180 degrees from where the towers are. For now, I tend to get most stuff...

The finished product. Lol. I was able to pick up a UHF Iowa Public Television station (KHIN) roughly 110 miles away a couple times. Not that I need that station since locally it is VHF on channel 11, but still pretty cool.

Ok, I'm new to SAT stuff entirely, but I do know a thing or two about radio communications, but most of that falls into what you can do with it and not how it all works. Background: I worked EMS/Fire for a decade before changing to IT (better pay, but I've always been a computer geek anyway)...
