Here is a pic of my OTA antenna, next to my Dish dish. Purchased at my local Radio Shack, when they still existed.  Oh yeah, and a small squadron of World War ll fighter planes, doing a 4th of July fly by. 👍

It is aimed at a mountain top about 45 miles away.

Yeah, it was cool.  I posted some of these pics here afterwards.   Here they are performing a strafing run by my house.  The sound of the old prop planes flying by was great.

I would think it will work well Joe! Like the other guy said let us know what you think. If anyone needs a real long distance antenna these are suppose to be very good.It has vhf also but it can work well for FM.

That stacking can really work for deep fringe. Popular out west and plain areas. Usually the idea was to double or even triple stack like antennas with combiners. A hobbyist in great Britain had some really cool but expensive examples awhile back...

That antenna is just like the first channel master 4221 model 1. The newer model 2 has a little different screen and is not suppose to be quite as good as the model 1

At the risk of totallyd7de843da642d7ed51e7a9c6f70f248b.jpg embarrassing myself, I'll post this antenna I made over 10 years ago to experiment with. It's in daily use.

I made one of these years ago. it worked very well up in York Pa. but only for indoor use and had to be close to the TV

I have boosters on it. It's far from the tv and can be taken outside, but no need to. My plan was to make one roof top many times larger, but I thought better of it.
