New OTA Antenna
Hopefully this one works better than the rest. Winegard Rayzar

The method of testing by the magazine was rather simplistic. Using the TV's strength meter to get the antenna directly aimed at the tower will always find more stations than their method of picking 4 directions at right angles. The Winegard III, or IV, will find many more then they found. One question I have is how in the h( )l do they know what direction the new antenna was aimed in the first place. The position inside is the last direction aimed at the previous use.
The antenna should have been placed in a level position since it contains a rotating antenna inside the cover. The author should have known the power for the unit comes from the coaxial cable.
Their main market is for the clueless who may replace a omnidirectional directional antenna with something as simple as it can get to pick up some stations, if not the maximum possible.
As for the unit sitting low on the roof the other comments are correct.
