TV Antenna
Selection for Oklahoma
Ardmore 73401 Just happened across your website and really like the info I get from it. I live in 73401 zip, single story very few trees and no tall bldgings. I have radio shack cheapest antenna w/ small booster. I receive 1 station S.E. of me fine but the one N.E. comes and goes (Mostly goes) Antenna is on 5 ft boom and I would like to stay as low as possible with no rotor.About 50 feet of coax to one set.(Plasma HD) futherest station is about 37 miles away and thru a high hilly area. what do you suggest? thanks, George Greetings George, Without using a rotor you have two choices. The MS 2000 omnidirectional TV antenna or coupling a second antenna to your existing antenna. You have one channel very close to your location which may or may not overload the signal amplifier in the MS 2000, no way to know without trying. I would recommend trying the MS 2000 and if it doesn't work to your satisfaction return it for a refund or credit. If I can assist you further please don't hesitate to contact me. Best Regards,
Denny Altus 73521 Denny, I just found your website and I hope you can help me find the correct antenna. We don't recieve local channels with our Direct TV setup. We have a plasma t.v. and we would like to get all the locals but I am confused when I look up the antenna web it has three different colors listed for the channels we would like to receive. Could you look up which would be best for our area? Our zip code is 73521 and we live close to the Airforce Base. I've heard that can mess up the signal. also if we would need any other equipment for our application just let me know. Thanks for your time. Lori Greetings Lori, At your location you will only need a smaller antenna such as the Winegard PR 7015 TV antenna. The antenna would require that you point it West at your location. You would not need an amplifier or a rotor. You would however need a antenna mount, mast pipe and coax down lead cable. Viewing the different types of mounts can help you decide what would work best for you at your home. If I can assist you further Lori, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best Regards,

Hello Denny,
You provide a GREAT service and should be commended. I recently ordered a Winegard SS2000from another vendorBEFORE I found your website. I did this after spending $30.00 at Walmart for a little Phillips antenna that I mounted on the roof and was surprised at how well I received KSWO DT and KJTL at night. My question is did I make the right choice with the SS2000? I’m hoping some of the Oklahoma City stationsmay come in as well when pointed in that direction even though none show-up on antennaweb.org for my zip. Again, wish I’d found your site sooner.
Thanks. Steve
Greetings Steve,
The Oklahoma stations you are referring to are nearly 90 miles away well out of range of the SS 2000. I am not saying they some won't come in at all but I doubt many if any will be of much quality. The SS 2000 Square Shooter antenna is not designed for long range reception, as a matter of fact it is designed for digital reception where strong signal is present. To receive reliable quality reception at that distance a much larger antenna will be needed such as the Winegard HD 7084P TV antenna. Also the SS 2000 is a highly directive antenna and many of your stations are in different directions. If you would like to view the Oklahoma stations at antennaweb when you submit your information click on options near the bottom of the page. In the height box put 1,000 feet. If I can assist you further please don't hesitate to contact me. Best Regards, Denny TV Antenna Source McLoud 74851 1.

3. Will you be using the antenna for analog reception until the analog signals are turned off or just
--.digital/HD reception ?
Both types of signal.
4. Do you intend to use the TV antenna outside or in your attic Etc...
Outside, Mast mount.
5. Also include any additional information that you feel pertains to your particular reception
--.conditions.
Windy but open ground, Digital now comes and goes, would like something amplified, omni directional, what do you suggest? The antenna I am using at present is directional, purchased at Radio Shack in 1983. Thank you, James M. __________ Greetings James, I believe an omni-directional TV antenna would be a mistake for your location. All of the area TV transmitters are within 8 degrees in direction of each other except for two, TEL 30 and an IND 54 station. With the number of stations and the strong signal strengths of several I think multi-path interference (ghosting) and or signal overload is almost certain to be a problem with an omni antenna. I think your absolute best choice is the miniMAX TV antenna. This antenna is very well built and has proven itself to withstand winds in excess of 100 MPH. Along with the antenna I suggest the Winegard HDP 269 antenna preamplifier. With the antenna installed in a stationary position with the narrow end pointing north northwest you can expect excellent reception on ABC 5, CBS 9, FOX 25, CW 34, PBS 13, MNT 43, IND 46, NBC 4, and TBN 14. The IND 54 and TEL 30 stations I mentioned will come in pretty good with analog reception and should come in perfect with digital reception. If your down lead cable is anywhere near as old as your antenna you may want to consider replacing it along with the antenna. I am very confident that this equipment properly installed (I'm here to help if you need it) will provide you with excellent reception for both analog and digital/HD signals. If you would like detailed information on how to install the equipment, or if I can assist you in any way, please don't hesitate to contact me. Product Status = in stock |
