The new antenna works perfectly. All ten digital channels are coming in solid, and better than before. The fact that I was able to keep the mount low means we can brush the snow off while standing on the deck, and the omnidirectionalism means we don’t have to move it around with the broom after the wind blows it off track.
I noticed that the coax had become frayed from realigning the previous antenna frequently, so I patched it up. I also used some gel vibration pads I was going to use in a camera project to protect the cable from the mount at the top.
Nice looking catch a signal you got there. Hope it gives you many years of good watching.
Hmmm, catch a signal… I like that, a good acronym for antenna!
