Well it doesn't seem like slightly over a yr since last time I was here but I guess time flies by that fast. In that last yr I switch to cable so my need for a very good antenna wasn't all that important but after only having cable for 1 yr I realized it wasn't worth the $$. I mean heck for the 9 yrs previous I was satisfied to watch OTA tv and I'm heading back that way.
I stopped back to see if you guys had made any developments in more refined OTA antennas but since I wasn't very good at understanding this stuff before it still remains the same to me. I moved locations to one that is slightly worse then I had before an lost a few signals I had with my old SBGH Gen 1 with narods and reflectors. (note narod reflectors are not shown in that picture)
From what I can tell the improvements have been the tilted hat narod and that the reflectors that have been moved to different locations. The signals I use to get have dropped in strength in my new location to around 30% signal strength and I was wondering if the newer design has enough gain to over come that or if that was too much of a drop for the new design to deal with and I would be best staying with my old build.
I know that a question that can only really be figured out by building a new antenna but I has hoping for some suggestions.
