  TV Antenna Selection for Oregon


 Damacus 97098


We're contemplating getting an antenna for just local stations and wondered what the right antenna would be for our location.  Our zip code in 97089 in Damascus, Oregon.  We would just it for just two TV's and I would want an eave mount rather than a roof mount with roof penetrations.  Any help or guidance you can provide would be appreciated.  Thanks

Vince

 

Greetings Vince,
I examined the reception data from your location and found the miniMAX TV antenna is a perfect choice. Along with the antenna I suggest the Winegard HDP 269 antenna preamplifier. The antenna can be installed in a stationary position with the narrow end pointing West to provide you with excellent reception on the following channels in no particular order. CBS 6, MNT 49, NBC 8, TBN 24, ABC 2, PBS 10, FOX 12, UNI 38, IND 51, HSN 35, MNT 18, and ION 55. The eave mount or the J-pole mount are both excellent choices for this antenna.
The installation order goes like this. With the antenna and the mast mounted preamplifier mounted just below the antenna run a short piece of coax cable from the antenna output to the preamplifier input. From the preamplifier output to the ground block that should be installed on the coax cable down lead just before it enters your home. From the ground block run cable indoors to the power supply that is included with the preamplifier. The power supply requires an electrical outlet. From the power supply to the 2 way signal splitter and from the splitter to the TV's. A ground wire should be ran from the ground block to a ground and a ground wire should be ran from the antenna mount itself to a ground.
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.

Corvallis 97330 


Denny,
Just found your web site and it has been very helpful in confirming my decision to switch from cable to antenna. Would you please recommend an antenna system for me?  My zip code is 97330 (Corvallis, OR). I have a two story house with basement and would like to feed the antenna signal to a TV in the basement, first and second floors.
Thanks for you help,
Coy

Greetings Coy,
You have numerous stations available to you. If you haven't yet go to antennaweb type in your zip and check it out. You have one thing that concerns me about your location. You have two channels very close by. Channels 7 and 14 from Corvallis. With this in mind you will need an antenna with a high front to back ration (the ability of an antenna to reject signal from the sides and back). The two antennas with the best front to back ratios are theWinegard HD 7082P TV antenna and the HD 7084P TV antenna.
The 7084 has a slightly better ratio but truthfully I think either antenna will do an excellent job. Since your stations are in different direction a rotor is recommended for best results. You do have one direction that several channels would be received without rotation. However, there are several additional channels that can be received with rotation. This means you have a sweet spot, a direction where several channels can be receive without rotation. The rotor I recommend is the Channel Master 9521 antenna rotor. I would also recommend a preamplifier, one with high signal input capability and that would be the Winegard AP 8700 antenna preamplifier (booster). How you mount it is up to you and your situation. The antenna eave mount is one of most popular mounts.
If you choose to install an preamplifier, when planning your system remember the amplifier power supply must be installed on the antenna side of any splitters.
If I can assist you further Coy, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Best Regards,
