Antenna explanation
Since the subject of HD antennas comes up here occasionally, I just couldn't resist posting this link: http://money.cnn.com/gallery/technology/innovation/2013/08/07/worst-tech-lies/5.html

Thanks for the 2007 FCC report, Jeff.
Channels: 7, 8, and 9 would fall around 178 to 183 Megahertz. That would have included the elements sized around 50 to 30% of the largest one on a unamplified roof top antenna.
I have worried about the Jack antenna since it does not have adequate room for the proper sized element to work with smaller amplified RV antenna. I suspect the actual range for picking up these channels may be only 50% of the range for the other's.
With two amplifiers I have no problems. I would expect a second amplifier would help with the Jack if a second amplifier works on it. I am talking about transmitted RF channel, not the traditional channel shown by the station for those confused.
I looks like Tom used to work for our local channel 9 (who moved RF channel from 29 back to 9). We count on Tom to keep things going there since they are our FOX network and carry the Vikings football games.
