thanks a lot, now the only thing i really need help with is the rotor. is it actually worth having? how handy is it for picking up a lot more channels? and not just duplicate channels?
A tower is a big expense and unless you plan on attaching it to the side of your house you'll need a crane to install it. Also consider if your willing to climb it to install and adjust the antenna. I wouldn't go with a tower unless you have to. if you post your zip code it might be easier to predict what you'll need.
You don't need a crane to install a tower. For TV reception, Rohn 25 weighs 40 pounds per section. You put it up 10' at a time. 40 pounds is light enough to go up without a gin pole.
My Rohn 45 weighs 70 pounds per section. I put it up without any help. I use my garden tractor with a rope and pulley to lift the sections.
If you're in the tower construction business you have the responsibility to only recommend proper tower construction methods performed by qualified personel.
Sorry I can't recommend a rotor, I've never used one. I was considering buying one for a while until I read this, it made me decide against it for sure:
