[QUOTE="dkreichen1968, post: 92554, member: 6026"]That would be an interesting experiment, I know it would add a considerable amount of forward gain, but my experience tells me it would have the very real possiblity of screwing up my Cheyenne Mountain reception. That was one of the problems I had with the Antennacraft U-8000. When the U-8000 was mounted in the attic of the other house it got great Denver reception but Colorado Springs wasn't good. Right now I basically need more height. This spring I'm going to dig up the stand and move it closer to the house, which will give it 2-3 feet more height and change the location. I was getting better reception on my problem channel with the antenna in my familyroom than where it is in the yard. If I had the Gray-Hoverman to start out with, the stand would be in a different location now, and I wouldn't be having this problem to start out with. KDVR is at a lower HAAT than the other Denver stations, which explains why I need more height for reliable reception. It would be wonderful to have a roof mount, but I don't think that's going to happen. If I can get it positioned so I can pull in just a bit more signal on KDVR, I'll be happy. One nice thing about the ground mount is I don't have to worry about falling to my death. ;)[/QUOTE]
