Stop in for a cup of coffee

They smell good and they look better to eat than the squirrel.

Have a chimney mount that had a cell phone amplifier on it so just used that. Any one need a cell amp system? $75?
I have a tripod near one end of the roof. Can just reach the antenna when in line with the peak. I assemble it to the post and then sit the whole thing into the rotator. I see a lot of roof mounts that I can't imagine how they got them there.
 
I bet they could! We used to have squirrel, rabbit, and pheasant.
 

This thing has a built in rotator that runs through the coax. Must switch off the line to the tv when rotating.
Chris remember to lube the hole up!
 
Yep figure it was cheap enough if it did not work here, actually has good reviews, Walmart has the same one.

I remember 50 years ago we had a antenna rotor with a control like this. Back in the 60's we got a lot of channels. too bad there were only 3 networks and Public tv. We lived in the middle of all the signals though. Our town didn't have a tv station.

I never had any really stuck wheels. I've had to kick mine a few times to break them loose. I know the aluminum and steel next to each other is supposed to react to form corrosion and I think road salt accelerates it. I just had something similar with the washing machine. The aluminum 'spider' drive corrodes. but that was against stainless so it does not stick solid. They said the soap solution between them turns it into a battery of sorts. I sprayed the replacement aluminum with clearcoat in hopes that it can stop that from happening.

I remember those - you were "cool" if you had an antenna that moved - you could "dial in" a station
 
Hey Hops...let me know how the Antennae works. I gather up 24 channels with mine and could get a few more with a rotor. I did gather up 2 more just like mine down the road this week.
