Fifty years ago my parents were heartbroken when they moved and their favorite TV station came in heavily snowed with terrible audio. They already had a Channelmaster rotator and an antenna amplifier perched forty feet above the ground.
I went to a professional Television cable service supply house and purchased what they called a

It was a monster. Although made of aluminum its twenty six dipoles weighed over thirty pounds and it was just shy of ten feet on length. And to add insult to injury a different masthead amplifier was needed.

The cost was absurd. But they were happy. It was a gift.
