Terrestrial Digital V-21 Antenna

[maizenbluedoc]

I live in the Charleston, SC (Summerville) area and am contemplating on purchasing a Terrestrial Digital V-21 antenna. Most towers are in the 30 mile range, with the exception of a new station, which is 8+ miles. Has anyone had any experience with this particular antenna? I welcome any input. Thanks.

Looks like all your channels are above 7, so the 2-6 part of this antenna would be a waste, plus all your signals are fairly strong, so you don't need the largest antenna unless you plan on splitting the signal a couple of times.

It looks to me like these are the same antennas that Antennas Direct builds (the names have not even been changed to protect the innocent).

I am not familiar with the quality of the V series, but the 91-XG is considered one of the best UHF antennas around.

Thanks for the info. I just realized that I am not as tech savvy as I thought. According to the following web site: Charleston, South Carolina, Digital TV Channels and Antennas. the following is printed:
Station: WCBDDT, Channel RF: 2,1, Channel: 50. Is channel 2 considered channel 50 for antenna selection purposes? If so, this makes my choices much easier. Again, thanks.

Yes, on the TVFool report it shows the real channel and the virtual channel in parenthesis ( ), channel 2.1 is really on channel 50 RF.

Thanks Jim. That was my interpretation, but I wanted to verify my assumption.
