Ok- I found the answer.
It's the "lower" wider lugs.
Found the answer in antennas and distibution system book by MJ Salvati which claims this antenna as one of the best ever built for uhf. (mainly because of the diamond directors).Too bad the China men don't make this one.

I have a channel master 4247 ( yea,lucky me)
It has provisions for a vhf antenna feed through.
Question is,does the downlead attach to the wider or closer spaced lugs on the bow tie? 20140212_162441.jpg20140212_162425.jpg

One thing I do, and have noticed it can make a difference especially on weak signals, is keep the wire to the transformer straight, and [secondly but not as important] short. A 'curly-q, sharp bend,' or anything that's not straight, can introduce unwanted inductance. Screws up the level, (added series impedance) and phase (inductive reactance) angles of resulting signal, IMHO. YMMV.
 

OTA DVR? Looking to pull the plug on cable....

Digital vs analog on bad weather days!
