    Whoa, back up the truck! :)
    :Yar: :rofl: :lol: Is the antenna you installed an OTA (over-the-air) TV antenna? This is something I know a little bit about....besides the fact that your stack is too short. ;) I have a double bow-tie antenna (actually an outdoor antenna) in the bedroom, mounted on a 6' PVC pipe attached to a pedestal fan base. Since it is inside the house, I don't have to worry about grounding for lightning protection. I have a pre-amp installed to compensate for running the signal through a splitter (I have a TV tuner card in my computer.) If you are feeding only one TV, and the coax run (RG6) is under 100', you don't need a pre-amp...in fact, it might be counter-productive. With this setup, I can regularly get solid reception of stations that are up to 60 mi. away (I do have a good location, but the far-away transmitters are not line-of-sight to my antenna.) I've included a link that will show what stations may be available to you. You can also have it draw in the lines to the transmitters, show a terrain map so you can pinpoint antenna position, etc. There are only a couple of stations where I may need to move the antenna. The majority come in without adjusting it, thanks to the gain and the 90* beamwidth of this particular antenna. And some stations come in through the back of the reflector screen. The second pic is of a small indoor Terk log-periodic antenna (similar to the "fish-bone" antennas that used to be on everyone's roof.) It works well but only has a 30* beamwidth, so it's more directional and may need more adjustment if your stations aren't all in one direction. Note that it has rabbit-ears in case you have weaker VHF stations that you want to get. The two VHF stations I need come in fine with the double bow-tie antenna. This un-amped version is no longer available, only the amped version. :(

    Yes, my friend gave it to me; he ordered a new one for his house.

    Here is a photo of what mine looks like; this is from the internet and not my actual antenna but the exact same antenna.

    41 pages, i got $20 that it hits 50 by Friday. Did i mention that if you have anything other than a BK stove, its not a real stove. Also you MUST, I repeat MUST, stack your spits with the bark facing up.

    Fork it over, it was a test to see if youd catch it.... But thinking about it, which side is up on a spit?

    ya know it gives you an error each time you post like that?
    tells you that you have to wait so many seconds before posting?...
