@@mikewhite9818 There’s no question about it, I I am honest. I said at the beginning of the video to disregard the range claim. The thumbnail has ‘200 mile’ in quotes, which calls it into question immediately. You must have missed those details.
This antenna is good especially for Europe. UHF band is between channels 21 to 48 (470 - 690 MHz). As for VHF elemnts it is useless since digital radio channels DAB+ broadcast vertical and the elements are mounted horizontal. Even FM radio broadcasts vertical since your antenna has elements for FM reception. But I would recommend for Poland since they have TV channels on VHF High Band. For the rest of Europe the UHF elements will do a great job receiveng digital TV channels.
I'm in North Georgia and have a metal style antenna that like somewhat similar to this but much longer..I can't seem to get the major channels like Fox & abc ...I get a small handful of channels.. Any recommendations?
Make sure the antenna is pointed in the direction of the broadcast towers in your area. Try this website to find where the broadcast towers are located in your area to give you an idea of which direction to point the antenna: www.antennaweb.org/ Enter your zip code. Click ‘antenna will be installed 30 feet above ground’- this will give you a better listing of available channels. Press ‘go’. You’ll be able to see a map of the broadcast towers relative to your location, as well as a list of available channels in your TV market. Keep in mind that trees, terrain variations, transmitter power and distance all factor in to reception as well. Also, try to place the antenna as high as possible (but be safe about it!).
Yeah 200 mile range on strong TV signals and the antenna is mounted on a 20 story building or a mountain. I used to pick up stations that far away in western PA. Our farm was on a hilltop and the reason i could get Detroit Michigan is because the path was over the Great Lakes. Toronto Canada may be because of lake Ontario as for picking up Pittsburgh PA was because of the height of the land and transmission towers. I dont live there now but my experience in Florida is similar. Florida is mainly flat compared to other states. I think during a skip i picked up Houston TX but that was rare occasion which i would not count as a regular station you can still DX on FM. Until the government steps in i like having more ststions but most i would not watch. 73
RULE OF THUMB VHF element widths measurements need to be 35.5 decending forward to 29" inches. UHF reflector Elements 24" Optimal driven loop for channels 14 to 36 is 18" To cover entire UHF LOWER SPECTRUM WITH 6" WIDTH DIRECTORS SPACED 6 TO 10" Apart This Antenna is similar To Channel Master Pro series & RCA 751 you will get similar reception between all 3 but NO 200 mile🧐
The curvature of the Earth will block out TV and FM radio signals at 70 to 90 miles from the transmitter in most cases, based on current laws of physics
Wow I'm impressed that channel 9 signal was so strong.
Your Honesty is in question. No such thing as a tv antenna that reaches 200 miles.

Similar to the Range Experts antenna that I have in my system. Impressive build quality and picks up all channels including rf2, some 40 miles away.
Five Stars for build quality! Looks like it'll last a long time.

I said at the beginning of the video to ignore the 200 mile range claim. No antenna can receive stations that far away. 73

I don't think Tyler was a big fan of that antenna for UHF.
Yes, it’s not built correctly for UHF band reception in North America.
@@NorthcoasterHobby Unless you use it with a 4G/LTE/5G trap/filter.
@@KRAWofficial That could help things.
If conditions are right 200 mi can be achieved But not everyday.40 too 50 miles max.
@@BrettWashburn 200 miles is an exaggeration- 70 miles is the limit under ideal conditions.
WE KNOW IT'S "HERE" YOUR ARE POINTING TO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
189 is highest signal

?
Antenna suitable for a flat earth believer
Flat-earthers indeed!☺️I stated at the beginning of the video to ignore the 200 mile range claim.
Lies there is no att out there that will reach 200 miles ,the most 80 miles if that
@@GaryDavis-ll4uc I said in the first part of the video to ignore the mileage range claim.

It’s just another false mileage claim.
