I was mistaken, my Terk antenna is not a Yagi but a log-periodic. Illustration: https://www.terk.com/indoor-antennas/?sku=LOGTVAZ
I found clipping a wire between the elements at the base improves performance on UHF by 1 bar.
We had a power failure a few days ago and I got out a radio to look for some news, and couldn’t find any. Is there any any more?
When I was a radioman, my rule was: when the sun goes up, the frequencies go up, and when the sun goes down the frequencies go down, and the further you are the frequencies are higher. I was amazed how many radiomen did not grasp this basic principle. In Alaskan waters our comm sta was Kodiak though San Francisco would have been easier due to the higher frequencies, especially in winter.
The amplified Terk on the living room TV is on top of the cabinet, five feet off the ground, while my bedroom TV unamplified antenna is on a desk. That may be some of the difference. I am not going to swap them as the big TV works fine now and I don’t want to mess it up. I just fiddle with the bedroom antenna a bit when I change channels. The real test is when it rains.
Hi, 10 got better, 6 got worse, 2, 8, 12 and 32 stayed the same, actually they all got a bit worse. I took it off. I think it has a trap.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she wants to impeach President-elect Joe Biden the day after his inauguration.
Thanks. But I ordered a 15db indoor amplifier that’s powered by the USB port on the TV and was well reviewed at Amazon, an RGTech Monarch.
I have a Terk amplified Yagi on the living room TV and it works great. They don’t make this one any more. I just bought another identical Terk on eBay but to my surprise it is not amplified. I have it on my bedroom TV and though it requires some adjustment, it works better than the plain rabbit ears I had.
Humphrey came very close to winning. If it hadn’t been for the riot at the Chicago convention, he would have won. Or, of course, if Johnson had allowed Humphrey to speak against the war.
For some reason KNMT 24 (RF 32) comes in strongest of all the stations here in Milwaukie. It’s the only one that gets four bars on my TV. I looked on Rabbitears and it’s at Skyline, with the others, I presume.
I read he is going to escape to Scotland:
Plane Sightings Fuel Rumors Trump Planning Escape to Scotland on Day Before Biden Inauguration
Prestwick airport has reportedly been told to expect the arrival of a U.S. Boeing 757 aircraft, one that has been used by Trump before, on Jan. 19.
