RV antenna question...?
(OP here- I am resurrecting this thread to ask in new post #9 below on this page about current RV antenna technology) For a few reasons, I removed the antenna from my truck camper... I believe it ...
Forum Discussion
Photo of your antenna? Where/how is it mounted and how well does it work?
The antenna is mounted on a 6' aluminum mast and fits into the stock mast holder that came with the travel trailer. I also have an FM dipole, made from copper pipe, that is held by those spring-style rake holders sold at the harware store.
The TV antenna works very well. The guys that are really into antennas have measured the gain on the antenna and report some of the most sensitivity of any array. The overall reception is from the low UF bands up to the middle of the VHF band, IIRC. I receive all of the broadcast stations in my area. The broadcast towers are all in one location and I am approx. 35 mi. from the towers. This is not a direct line of sight. There are 2 million residents between me and the towers.
There is a lot of information from the Forum website I linked to above. I'm not really an antenna geek, more of an electronics nut. I thought I'd try it out and see what the results were. I'm happy with the outcome. BTW, some builders of this array are using them (mostly a double array) to receive broadcast when far away from broadcast towers. There are also some builders that tweak the design to get more gain or a wider reception.
