[QUOTE=&quot;Crashmore, post: 5054, member: 949&quot;]Our not so local channel 2 goes digital mid February on channel 5. I purchased a really hot VHF only preamp last week. An BTY-LP-LB low band VHF antenna is due in late December or early January. MCM Electronics ORIGINALLY SOLD this antenna at less than MSR but HAD a 21 day delivery. As of December 15, their price more than doubled to over $550. I am looking at the same manufacturer and a part number change from a different reseller at maybe 1.5X the old MSR. I am currently running two dedicated UHF only antennae mounted on the same pole but pointed at right angles (90 degrees apart). A Winegard notch filter kills analog channel 26 from one of the antennae before they are coupled (splitter turned around backwards) into an extremely high gain UHF only preamp.In another attic, I have a generic 20 year old VHF only antenna for digital channel 9 (8 actually), an FM filter and an UHF rejection filter followed by a 10dB preamp.[/QUOTE]
