Made a life changine decision..........
Top photo is the "huge disappointment" Not the antenna, the fact that it "wasn't enough." This is supposed to be one of the best long range VHF/UHF antennas made. Has a 14 ft boom. I paid some money for this. I bought it and put it up at the switchover from analog to digital TV. Turns out I cannot get 2, 6, or 22 from Spokane with this. About that time, they put the digi repeaters up on a local hill, and other than a couple of independent stations I didn't need it.
I put a 'ell of a lot of time and effort into this. This is a homebrew sidearm for mounting the above antenna. I knew I could not aim it accurately, so it's got a small rotator, the antenna hung below it. Last time I went to use it it would not turn, and when I went up earlier this week, I discovered the rotator cable has deteriorated from the sun
