TV Antennas Of SE Wisconsin

S

Schroedingers Cat

I was in the area last week and noticed the prevailing TV antennas in SE Wisconsin. I saw so many Channel Master Quantum 1160s I thought somebody must have started manufacturing them again. I hope someone is manufacturing them again or will. They were all in good shape. I had one in Michigan but it fell and bent some of the elements. It was recycled by a radio engineer friend. I've never had good luck unbending bent elements. Another prevailing antenna was a Figure 8, bidirectional lobe area special for Milwaukee and Chicago. Looks like not equal gain, but could be flipped depending on whether you are closer to Chicago or Milwaukee. The third type looked like a post transition model-looked like a Multibay UHF Bow tie with screen reflector. Some of these do have a VHF High element also, but that detail wasn't visible. Supposedly a Hoverman antenna will function on VHF, but not that well compared to UHF.
