Dear Denny,
Last week I received the Up-7 TV antenna after the Winegard 8800 that I had purchased (from another vendor) did not meet my needs. Thursday I installed the antenna along with a Winegard 8780 and
CM 9521 rotor at a height of 25 as you recommended. After connecting the antenna to my Dish receiver, I could not believe the results! The NBC (UHF) station according to TV Fool is over 65 miles from my home. It registered 94 on my strength meter; the CBS (VHF) station at 35 miles registers 90-92, and the FOX (UHF) station at 35 miles consistently registers 100! The biggest surprise was picking up PBS (UHF) in Alexandria (50+ miles) at 77. I was disappointed that I couldn't pick up the stations in Shreveport (75-80 miles), but what more should one expect from such a compact TV antenna? (My wife appreciates the compact size as it is hardly noticeable from the front of our house.)
I have told several of my friends and co-workers about the Up-7 and your website. Both are winners!!
Thanks for your help.

Outstanding! I'm glad to hear the reception is good but the fact that your wife appreciates the antenna is probably most important. I did some research using TV Fool and other data providers and I doubt that any antenna would provide reception from Shreveport unless it was installed at an elevation of about 300 feet above ground. Apparently there is some major signal obstruction between your location and the Shreveport transmitters.
.
Anyway I'm glad to hear that the stations that are available are coming in with strong signals. With signals like that I doubt that you will see much in the way of pixelation (signal drop).
.
Thank you for placing your order with us. If you need any further assistance just let me know.

Best Regards,
Denny

I installed the UP 7 antenna & the AP 8780 pre-amp last night and they work perfectly, I cannot believe how clear the reception is, better than cable. Thanks for recommending this setup. I installed the rotor but did not have time to connect it yet, I may contact you with questions when I get to that point.
Your web site is great, I learned enough there to attempt this installation with no prior antenna experience. A real benefit for the do-it yourselfer. Enjoyed the 500,00 mile vehicle as well, my pickup is 20 yrs old, I can relate.
Again, Thank you very much,
Sincerely,

Hi Ron,

Denny,
Thanks for the great info and recommendation. I recieved my shipment
in record time and within 45 minutes I had more channels than I had
hoped for. The UP-7 antenna and the wineguard AP-8780 amplifier were
perfect. Easy to install and work great. Thanks again. I am telling
others about your websight and knowledge.
Shane
