Watching TV now in digital - not working well. Probably 25% of the program is lost. Wife is about to skillet me. This is the strongest of stations in this area. We will loose several stations when they convert over. All of the CBS outlets gone on digital. We have good external antennas. But we"re in a fringe area. Ask if I"m happy with this situation.

In answer to your questions: Optimum height is as high as you can get, safely. Antennas could be stacked for different directions, and a typical TV antenna works almost as well off the back as it does in the forward direction. RG-59 is the standard coaxial line for TV. RG-6 is larger and lower loss, will work with TV, but connections are going to be difficult. RG-58 is somewhat less lossy, but is 50 ohm, and will be slightly mis-match to the TV which is designed at 75 ohms. Long ago, we installed our tv mast with the rotor a foot or so above the ground. That gave us the option of servicing from the ground. We mounted the mast on a pipe union which is loose, and serves as a bearing so rotor has no weight on it. The mast goes thru a sleeve at the top bracket, which has a zerk on it - shot of grease ocassionally keeps everything lubed.

Today's Featured Article - Chores - by Frank Young. The ceaseless passing of time! It is at once our friend and our enemy. It measures our progress and it makes us old. Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint. In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live ...
