<p>[QUOTE="Keith, post: 126794, member: 44701"]I have gone through the detail and taken measurements of the antenna(s). I'm getting 43 separate channels, not counting the duplicates. It seems that the low band UHF are weak, and I was having problems with channel 6.1 ABC; but after changing antenna's and making a better connection, I'm getting everything I should from the tv fool list plus 20+ more not on the list. Then I tried to connect two antennas into one line and I lost a few, so for now using just one at a time. Next, I need to connect to the whole house coaxial and see what I lose. Did you say that this old Amphenol antenna specs indicate a low signal compared to new antenna's? I'm wondering if I should look into an amplifier and if so what I'd be looking for. As for the dimensions of the antenna, the small loop is 28" long (side to side), the large loop is 78" and the long reflector rod is 110". I also took more photos to confirm the rods intersect into a rubber like connector to keep each component separate.
