[QUOTE=&quot;robrpb, post: 143879, member: 94028&quot;]Nice to hear from you again Steve.I have been reading and researching the info and links you have given me. From my studies for my situation I have learned looking at TvFool's report and where the transmitters are located, all but one transmitter are to my south. WBWP-LD channel 25 (local ABC) is the only not to my south, which is to my ENE with a signal of about 70-74%.I used a temporary setup with the loop-dipole and mounted it about 16-18&quot; in the air. I can get all the channels I want, though on WFOR-TV channel 22(4.1) and AntTv 39.1 the signal is only about 50-54%. I have a couple other channels with low signals, but not like those two.I was wondering if connecting a reflector is possible with the loop-dipole antenna, and would it help? Steve, I was wondering if the 2 bay antenna in the link you sent in reply #19 would give me more gain and improve the signal for those channels? If so, would it work okay without a reflector or would I need a reflector? How much better is a 4 bay or is that overkill?Is there an easy way to check the gain on an antenna, similar to checking voltage with a volt meter?Steve, regarding the antenna from Stellar Labs, my cousin and I would prefer to build one. It is challenging and more fun, at least for now. Thanks for the link for that new antenna website you found, I will check it out. Thanks for your continued help and patience with me. Rob[/QUOTE]
