Just a mention that the Bengals will be blacked out yet again...must be some kind of record for the Bengals...maybe just listening on the radio might be less of a hassle...stay tuned...

I see that Winegard sells around $45 at Sears, maybe I will take a run there this weekend. Some 5 miles from here... the elevation drops several hundred feet to maybe 400 ASL or less. Is TV Fool that accurate in elevation calculations? We are about 900 ASL.

$53 is certainly an inexpensive antenna and looks to be well worth getting. The failure of this project was really mine on my part as if I did more planning and bought the antenna (s) in advance, better preamp, highers masts and guy wires... we could have watched the Bengals win over the Browns...

We threw in the towel on it. Could not get a peep out of WLKY 32 , (which we wanted) , but only got WDRB Fox 41 choppy in the rain which wasn't what we wanted to get the Bengals game. I am confident if I had the right antenna (like a parabolic UHF) with a quality mast mounted amp with the...

Well here is another update. WDRB 41 Louisville KY is coming in nicely, not fading out much ...pretty watchable at 78 miles. We boosted the antenna up another 12 feet and got a 33 db mast mounted amp and replaced the coax. The only problem is...41 Louisville is the only Louisville we can get...

Well, there is hope..but there is going to be a lot of work involved. I need to raise it up another 10 feet, replace the coax and see where I can go from here. As you can see from the pictures, I do get WDRB 41 Louisville KY at 78 miles. It is not viewable or reliable, however there is a...

I just ran another TV fool report, this time using the airport as the reference. I just noticed that WBDT 26 Dayton Ohio (52 miles) is really on channel 26 which is the same as WLKY 32 Louisville KY (78 miles) Co channel interference might be more of problem than just the distance. I'm going to...

Thanks for the information on the Channel Master Parabolic antenna. I think with that I would get constant reception from Louisville. Too bad no one makes a parabolic UHF anymore, I think it is needed now more than ever. I'll try do a followup on the results (if any) on the "Bengals Blackout...

Does anyone get reliable 78 mile DTV OTA reception? Here is my situation, the Bengals are blacked out yet again. But WLKY 32 out of Louisville will be showing them and Cincinnati and Dayton will not. I have a large fringe VHF/UHF antenna I can put up with the 25 db mast mounted amp that I use...

CTV from Newfoundland Canada seen in Portugal on a double hop. This has to be one of the clearest receptions ever for a Trans Atlantic TV signal. This was received in Portugal just with an outdoor antenna and a NTSC compatible TV. This occurred June 17 2011. The person has received numerous...

In my opinion, you need a 20 to 30 db mast mounted amp and use RG6 coax. I get most Dayton Ohio locals some 50 miles from me. If I didn't have a mast mounted preamp...they would not come in at all. Good Luck....

In my opinion a mast mounted preamp is a must. I get most of the Dayton Ohio stations here in Northern KY with a mast mounted amp and a UHF Corner reflector. Without the mast mounted preamp , they do not come in at all. Dayton is some 45 to 50 miles from here.

July 11 2010 Tropo S.Bend Indiana July 11 2010 Tropo S.Bend Indiana 9:32 AM WSBT 22 South Bend Indiana approx 200 miles Also saw WISE 33 Fort Wayne as well.... UHF Corner reflector with mast mounted 30 db amp pointed toward Dayton Ohio and Sanyo Digital TV.

DX out to Grand Rapids MI Sat - July 3 DX out to Grand Rapids Michigan This reception was caused by tropo ducting/enhancement where warm air over riding a cool air mass creates causes 'ducts' where the signals propagate much further than normal. This is not skip...it is tropospheric ducting or...

I suggest using a mast mounted amp instead and like others suggested, with running a separate cable.

Radiator hose clamps are good for securing guy wires to a antenna mast.

This was a historic day for Dxing in North America.... and that is a understatement..

The DX robot is reporting the skip as high as 144 Mhz, nothing here (yet) in Kentucky. hxxp://www.xs4all.nl/~amunters/eskipNA.htm >DXrobot issued 144 MHz NA Es alert at 02 Jun 19:40 UTC

According to the site : www.DXFM.com FM and TV DX Today May 31 2010...a FM Dxer in Northern Ireland received a FM station... WRTU (89.7) in Puerto Rico and that DX conditions in Europe Today are "insane". The only thing I noticed was some TV analog skip from Mexico and 6 meter skip to Austin Texas.

I HEARD XHRIO "Channel 2 Cable 6" on the analog audio channel today through www.DXFM.com FM and TV DX Girard Westerberg in Lexington KY runs the dxfm.com site. He has a analog channel 2 audio feed and a digital channel 2 audio feed. The digital audio feed can even detect meteor scatter...

My best OTA ,Digital catch was Channel 17 from Nashville. I have seen some stations from Indianapolis, Columbus Ohio, Lexington KY, Louisville and Huntington WV. I get Cincinnati and some of the Dayton Ohio stations. I have a modest UHF antenna with a mast mounted amp.

Interesting write up about Channel 25 in Cincinnati.... which shows RTV. Real WKRP low on power, high on humor | cincinnati.com | Cincinnati.Com Channel 25's schedule. Channel 25.1 (WOTH-TV): "Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures," Canadian Football League games, English Premiere League soccer...

Laseradam , I am in Boone County, Unless I aim a high gain UHF antenna at it with a mast mounted amp...I can't get it either. I am going to get a separate UHF antenna with amp just for this channel as I don't want to lose reception of both Dayton and Cincinnati locals. I get some, not all of...
