Hi Tom:
I have been using TVFool to try to locate your camping position. It looks like you are located near the town of Okeechobee (possibly SW of town along the lake).
I have been to the Palm Beach area and traveled all around the state at least ten times in the 70's and 80's. The state is rather flat like a Monopoly board which should work better for comparisons.
I would expect either the Jack or Winegard to work equally well for stations found.
I am beginning to think Jeff's testing done in San Diego area of California may have been skewed because of the foot-hills. I do not think he has the option to haul the equipment used to a relatively flat area of the country for testing.
The two antennas may not be all the different except for the RF channels from 7 and lower going in Winegard's favor.
