[QUOTE=&quot;bobrok, post: 128064, member: 2174&quot;]First off let me say how impressed I am with all the responses to my question. Thank you all for the help!I did a tv fool report and resolved it down to my exact location, which is off-highway and up the side of a mountain (my camp in the woods). I currently have an old fashioned 12 foot long VHF-hi and am receiving channel 7 at about 25 feet AGL, although it does have a tendency to pixilate and cut off completely at certain times, only to return again.Inputting for this report TV fool had me put the antenna at about 40 feet before allowing channel 7, so I guess I lucked out.Would that UHF antenna I posted above have half a chance of pulling in channels 50 and 16 at all if I were to go higher?...and of course I have more questions.1) I am off-grid, obviously, but we do have a solar panel/battery/power inverter setup. I am thinking of trying a signal amplifier.&nbsp; It doesn't use too much power and it would only be running when the tv is running so I'm comfortable with that. There should be absolutely no interference since there is no electrical around other than my power inverter.2) AntennaPoint shows this:[ATTACH]3247[/ATTACH]and here is why I am confused.&nbsp; These don't even show up on TV fool. Are these translators? Would I be better served in aiming towards them since they are closer?So many questions.Thank you,Bob[/QUOTE]
