VHF low antenna needed

[SatPhreak]

Does anyone one what I can use as an antenna for my local channels. My locals are all on vhf 2,4, and 9. I tried a cheap antenna and I can only get 4 and sometimes 9.

 

[Mr Tony]

are you in Thunder Bay proper or outside of city limits?

Since both CKPR & CHFD are on VHF Lo (2 & 4) you need one of the "old school" antennas that can get VHF Lo

Do you need an indoor antenna or can you use an outdoor one? IF you can do outdoor this is the cheapest one I see on Solidsignal. Its a VHF only antenna which is all you need in TB

If your still looking for an older VHF antenna you might check out Warren electronics as they have some left over antenna per their web page, maybe one would work for you.

I'm inside the city only 7-8 miles from the transmitters. I can mount an outside antenna so that's not a problem. Thanks for the links.

 

[Mr Tony]

yeah the one I linked to should work fine then

good lord. I just looked and they are running both stations with 1200 watts? Damn....stations here in the states on VHF low are running much more (15-30,000 watts). I guess other than TB proper they really dont need to cover any other area

Look at the RCA ANT751.

 

[Mr Tony]

but if he doesnt need UHF why bother adding it?
Thunder Bay has 3 stations all on VHF

It also looks like ANT751 is HI VHF only less than 1 meter wide.

It also looks like ANT751 is HI VHF only less than 1 meter wide.

but again....2 things
-the specs say UHF also
-If its truly VHF Hi it wont work as the OP REQUIRES VHF low. 2 stations are on VHF low (2 & 4) so he needs a full VHF antenna
