[QUOTE="dave73, post: 89592, member: 6089"][b]Antennacraft CS600 antenna **Update**[/b] After being delayedat installing the new antennas last weekend, due to my mother wanting to go shopping on Black Friday, & having to work Saturday & Sunday. The new antenna array is up & the TV picture is brighter. I get WBBM-TV with the new VHF antenna, & believe it or not, WOCK-CD comes in with this antenna (thought it wouldn't,due to the lack of VHF-Lo elements). The Winegard HD9032 antennas get the stations I got before from Chicago, but didn't add any new ones. I however lost W25DW-D on RF 25 & WESV-LD on RF 40. I still don't get WCHU-LD on RF 33, nor do I not get WPVN-CD on RF 20 from their Schaumburg, IL site (maybe when they broadcast from the Trump Tower). For now, I don't get South Bend stations, but not giving up on that yet. I just have to try something different to see if I can get them in better. Anyway, these are the pictures I included: Antennacraft CS600 [ATTACH=CONFIG]1373.vB[/ATTACH] Winegard HD9032 with extended boom [ATTACH=CONFIG]1374.vB[/ATTACH] Winegard HD9032 without boom [ATTACH=CONFIG]1375.vB[/ATTACH] Lastly, the new antenna array [ATTACH=CONFIG]1376.vB[/ATTACH] Anyway, the antenna pointing upward in the last picture is the old antenna. Turns out it was a good thing I did buy new antennas. The U-Bolts on the Philips antenna snapped as I turned the nuts. That tells me that the antenna was going to crash down at anytime. While I still would have wanted an Antennas Direct 91XG antenna for UHF, I'm doing alright with what I have. I eventually will replace the pre-amplifier with the Channelmaster CM-7777. I still need the pre-amplifier for WWME-LD & WCIU for UHF & WOCK-CD on VHF. My pre-amp is now set to amplify separate VHF & UHF antennas, where before, it was set to combo, & only hooked to the UHF/Combo side.[/QUOTE]
