Nice looking antenna, hope some day i can have big antenna like that, in my country only available simple shape of antenna and only use uhf signal in my country
I have an older antenna. And today I use a multimeters set just to hear if I had a signal path.( set on continuity setting) I was wondering how these roof top antennas work .Does the aluminum square tube collect all the vibrations and electrical vhf & uhf signals from the (cross way) elements. So I had a couple fasteners to the elements that were rusted that didn't have a clear path for the RF signal anymore. I called those dead elements, unless I drill out the old rivet ant put in a clean new one that will conduct current flow. I would of thought ( of coarse I have no idea what brand it is ) but it did have that yellow sticker. they would of used fasteners that wouldn't rust.
Its more efficient & the VHF section has a truss insulator over/ under phase system for longevity. Solidsignal version crossphase single insulators wont last near as long
That is a BEAUTIFUL vhf/uhf antenna!!
Thank you for the video. I have one of these on the way to put up. Very helpful.
Thank you. So glad I found this. Very helpful.
Can't wait to see you mount it on the roof

I recently purchased a CM 5020. Works great. Easy installation. Up at 40 Ft

LMAO on mounting to pole
Like to see a signal test.
How do I get a replacement coax connector?
I live in northeastern Iowa, will accumulations of ice/snow degrade the reception capabilities on this outdoor UHF/VHF antenna?
The wires are touching the frame.
Why would you pick this over a Solid Signal HG8200XL?

I am considering HD8200U or CM-5020, any comments? What do you think of this?
Get the CM 3018 its under rated & will do what you need!
I wouldn't like all that traffic noise.
This is not a learning video because you definitely missed some steps😢
Way too much for 1 person to handle🤔
Yo your killing me Smalls , loosen your hardware to mount on post and put a wire tie around the post so the antenna won't slide down the post!!
