Hi tigerbangs. Nice to talk to a local guy that can offer some advice. I'm in Colchester, Ct. I'm doing well with a 4 bay bowtie for WFSB-DT, WVIT-DT, WTIC-DT and Norwich CPTV (off the back of the antenna). All high sig strength on my SIR-T451. I wanted to stay UHF for all stations but I can't get anything from WGGB. What do you think about an 8 bay for a try? I've tried WTNH with several VHFs with no luck. I am going to try a VIP-305 for the super bowl but at 10' long I don't want to deal with a permanent install with that monster. Also WGGB seems to have permitting going for higher power? WTNH is a measly 20kW VHF.
Thanks!
