actually, more like hwy 60 and Redman Parkway (39).

...basically a flat piece of chicken wire with some dohickey's mounted to it.

supposedly a 60-mile reception potential... but you gotta be dead on.
when i tried it solo at my house to try and get WB Orlando, it now makes sense that I would show 0% strength. Really needs 2 people to align or signal testing equip at the mast.
we would move it what amounted to an inch up in the air and it would be day and night difference. with a few inches it would totally lose the signal.

the dish6000u signal strength would indicate 100% from CBS and riverview using this antenna (when pointed to each group, of course).

I can give a bit more information on this antenna ( since its mine and I have read up on it )

It is in fact very good at pulling CBS - and has a VHF pass thru so not to worry about splitters or join tennas - and as there isnt anything in Holiday that will interfere with the Riverview farm I just merged the 2 antennas and sent them into my Samsung.

Now my Dish 8vsb said I had a singal strength of 85% - the Samsung says more like 50%.

Either one is lying or the Samsung has a much more detailed scale.

Jaymer,

This antenna should work for you. Get it up high above the roofline. Careful with combining
