Need ideas on replacing crank up antennae!
I just had a Winegard Traveler installed on my Dutch Star. The old crank up antennae can't be used at the same time as the Traveler dish since it can be hit by the Traveler. I need a 10" or lower ante...

You might be interested in this comparison of the Jack vrs the Batwing with Wing-man.
There are some truisms on Antenna's. Size matters, bigger works better then smaller and height matters, higher works better then lower.
So, a Jack, mounted directly on the roof, is NOT going to work as well as the Jack mounted to the Winegard crank-up (you can buy a Jack designed to do that).
I've done some testing of the Jensen that mounts directly on the roof, I didn't have a Winegard to test it against, but a random length of wire, connected at the roof, worked better.
Even better was a "flying saucer" antenna I bought at Radio Shack.
