[QUOTE="RF Steve, post: 143887, member: 18630"]You really should not have any trouble receiving WPBF unless there is some nearby blockage. A 4 bay antenna with no reflector will not work noticeably better then what you already have on high VHF channels 7-13, but should be a significant improvement on UHF channels 14-51. I suggest trying a 2bay you can always recycle the elements into a 4bay. Here is one I haven't tried yet that looks to be an improvement over the 10"x9.5" that I've worked with in the past.
