How do I join 2 antennas?

[chupacabra]

Hello,
If I wanted to join 2 rooftop antennas, one pointed to the NBC, etc. towers, and a second pointed to the CBS tower - do I simply join them with a coax splitter? Or is there some special equipment needed?

Thanks!

Many here use the "joint-tenna", which is a type of trap combiner. You can order that from any number of internet electronics/antenna providers. Personally I am successful using an ordinary "splitter/combiner" that you can get for a couple of bucks at RS. You need to have good signals to overcome the insertion loss, and be sure to separate the antennas at least thirty inches if you can. Good luck.

Thanks for the info jbtampa.

Before I do this, I am going to try first a tampa bay special antenna or a channel master 4228 - maybe I will have better luck than the stealthtenna.

Thanks.
