Antenna
Does anyone have an Antenna with just a pole and Fins at the top and how to make one to get more channels and where to plug it in, I've seen other campers that are seasonals that use that instead of a...

WE traveled all over the USA for 7 yrs.
Majority of time we could get OTA TV via the Winegard crank up antenna with the wingman add on.
We learned early on that the head of antenna had to be 'aimed' in the right direction towards transponder towers to get best signals.
We used couple of websites that allowed you to input current address and it would give you compass direction, distance and signal strength

Sometimes due to location we couldn't get very many channels.
That is when I would hookup the 'array' antenna I had bought at ACE Hardware. Attached it to a 5' pipe (3/4") and install it in the flag pole mounts I had on rear ladder. Connect the coax cable to 'cable' input on rear of trailer. Then change coax input from antenna to cable (leave TV input on 'AIR")
Usually could pick up several more channels than via Winegard.
