well it depends on what you're trying to accomplish
If you have one antenna mainly for one station and the other one for the rest then a jointenna is what you need. As example I have one antenna for Minneapolis (9, 11) and the other for a distant VHF the opposite way (12)....I would get a jointenna for 12 which blocks 12 on the Minneapolis antenna and picks up the other one
Now if you have more than one station on each one then I really dont know

I have a situation where I need to pickup 2 VHF stations 162 degrees apart (a moderate channel 10 @ 183 degrees and a weak channel 13 @ 021 degrees) I also need to pickup multiple, strong UHF stations @ 90 degrees.
I assumed 2 yagi for the VHF (1 moderate, the second deep fringe) and a simple UHF.
These all will be in an attic that is NOT used for storage. It is a 3 family and will serve as a master antenna for all 3 apartments (first floor will need an amp near the antennas to compensate for the long run, the 2nd and 3rd floors will be much shorter runs)
Any help would be appreciated.

For channel 13, I plan on using
https://www.newark.com/stellar-labs/30-2476/deep-fringe-directional-antenna/dp/71Y5462
For Channel 10
For the UHF that are very stong, I have a Gray Hoverman that I made a few years ago that works great for the UHF

Thank you. I need a little more information to wrap my head around this. Do you know of any links that I could read to fill in the blanks? What gets attached to the 2 open tee's? I assume this will minimize the need to space the 2 VHF antennas so far apart (I had planned around 5').
I have plenty of RG-6 and F connectors, I'll find tee's. I also have an RCA powered VHF/UHF combiner/amplifier, the amplifier is about right for the 3 way splitter loss and the shorter cable runs.
I have a single family cape that I live in. I use an old school antenna (RCA ANT3038E) pointing south and a 4 Director Yagi, tuned to 213 Mhz, that I made pointing 020 degrees and 3' lower. The problem I have is that it sways on windy days. I was thinking of using a chimney mount, A Gray Hoverman pointing East, The Yagi I'm using now on the corner bracket aimed as it is now and a 2 director Yagi, tuned to 195 Mhz on the South side of the chimney. The diplexer you describe, combining the VHF and a VHF/UHF combiner would work much better.
Here is the location map;

The setup I have now, with the 4 director Yagi, has also been able to pull in 11 and 26....on calm days!
Thank you again for your help!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I have had good experiences with Brave but lately I am frustrated with it.
Now when I launch the app it shows a box at the bottom asking if I want to go back to the last opened page. It is in conveniently located and I would prefer to eliminate it.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Please let's not sidetrack the discussion into an exploration of why I don't care for it or a lecture about all the wonderful aspects of the feature. I just do not care for it.

I don't have an Android phone so I don't know if this will apply to the Brave settings on your android device but it works on the desktop for me.
Change this setting to either startup to a different website or a new tab page. I have mine set to open to google.com instead of where I left off and it doesn't ask me at the next startup if I want to open the last opened page unless it crashed.

Looking for a manual. Want to do some radio astronomy with it. Realize it's old but, since it's not for tv use don't need any decoders, just the RF section.

Due to security concerns and the fact that the Tapatalk Plugin for Xenforo is no longer being updated we have removed Tapatalk support from SatelliteGuys.
For those who were using it we recommend using our PWA App instead which is faster and does not have all the spam Tapatalk had. Below is a graphic showing how to add SatelliteGuys to your devices home screen. (While iOS is shown the process is mostly the same for Android.)
Thanks for your understanding.

Actually, PWA stands for "Progressive Web Application" and is basically just saving a site's homepage to your desktop where it appears as an "App" with the rest of your smartphone's Apps.
New low power station has been granted by the FCC and the new call leter is K33OB-D on RF ch. 33.
Will run at 15 KW ERP, this one runs from the Westside same location as KWPL-LD a HC2 owned station.
It's going to be aimed at eastern part of Albuquerque, so it's tightly focused beam pattern.
This new station is owned by Digital Network and what kind of programmings is unkown at this time.

We already have those diginets here.
Yeah, there are some diginets like Heartland, Retro, The Family Channel diginetworks that we already have here in this market and we don't need duplicates, but bring the new diginets on like the Rev'n, Karate Acton movies, different kind of music videos on the new station.
