T&T: HDTV antenna

[Bob H]

I have good results with a Radio Shack UHF antenna 
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103088

Have it mounted with stainless steel band style clamps to a vertical dock 
support pole at our marina about 7' above the dock.  We are 40 miles line of 
sight from the towers and it picks up but needs the external amp to perform 
at it's best under all weather conditions.

The little UFO style on our radar arch would work too ... but would break up 
and loose signal frequently depending on weather.  It needed an additional 
internal AMP to work also.  40 miles however is REALLY pushing the limit for 
that style antenna.

Good luck,

Bob H
