Signal strength
I installed an amplified outdoor HDTV antenna
recently and it was easy
to set up.
It has a motor rotor that
allows you to turn the antenna from a remote
control. The extra mounting bracket
and pole are designed to be installed on the side of a building.
The amplifier box has two
outputs so you can hook up an FM radio.
It gives a strong signal. I haven't tried TV over the air since back
before the days of digital and was surprised to find out the local PBS
station has 3 channels.

Would you be able to update us after a month of use? We have been through a few indoor ones and their not very good. We're looking to upgrade.
Thank for all your informative posts.
Hi Anna,
I discontinued paid cable for the same reason. I wonder if the usenet news feed is still around. It would make putting up an antenna of some interest. I seem to recall it was a subchannel on FM or TV at some point in the past? I wonder if RF networking with our nearby friends will take off sometime like the world wide web did? After all that is how the 'web' began!!
warm regards to you both.
Maybe growing nutrient dense things will once again get talked about?
Have you read the Jarvis-Folk Medicine book. If you have not, you should :).
