[QUOTE="Fringe Reception, post: 92501, member: 4739"]Here are photos of my 'work horse' antenna that collects another dozen+ free channels beyond the channel-specific Yagis shown above. It's an old-type Channel Master 4221. Winter and Summer photos are below. In [I][U]my[/U][/I] situation, the trees don't interfere at all with my reception to the west but the garage was a problem when my antenna was looking at stations to my east. A six inch antenna height change can make a world of difference on this mast. Since I took these photos, I changed the fixed 20 foot mast to a 40 foot telescopic mast for testing other antennas at a variety of heights. Last summer I tested an old-style DB-2 antenna and it captured a Translator 86 miles away. Using a 'better' (the right) antenna, it would be another rock-solid capture. Works for me.
