[QUOTE="dave73, post: 88864, member: 6089"]Don't worry. I'll have pictures of the antennas. Compared to the Winegard HD9032 (around 10 feet fully assembled, & under 6 feet without the extended boom, but very light), the Antennacraft CS600 is a lot smaller. I ordered the Antennacraft CS600 from summitsource.com Thursday, & arrived the next day. I however don't like that summitsorce opens all the boxes (at least was the case with my antenna), & inserts 50 feet of RG59 cable in the boxes. I have no desire to use the included cable, due to the fact that it's RG59 & not RG6. Luckily, the antenna wasn't damaged adding the cable to the box. Also, looking at the build quality, this Antennacraft antenna looks very similar to the Radio Shack VU series. Also after looking at the radio shack website in the careers section, they have Antennacraft listed as an employer in their careers section. It makes me believe it's a subsidiary of Radio Shack, & made the Archer & other proprietary brands for Radio Shack (now discontinued), & Antennacraft to the general market. The Antennacraft should help me get WLFM-LP on RF 6 whenever they go digital, as they have a CP to flashcut to digital at the same 3kw, but will have to be a real TV station instead of an FM station on a TV channel. WOCK-CD on RF 4 is still questionable, due to the size, & only operating at 810 watts. I might have to order a second CS600 if I can't get WOCK-CD, in order to get additional gain.[/QUOTE]
