As for a rotator: a Channel Master Rotator isn't beefy enough to handle a VIP-307 AND a 4228: pick up a Hy-Gain AR-40 to turn that monster, since you'll also be able to pick up Vancouver and Victoria where you are. I don't know how tall your barn is, or how far from the house it is, but if it is the highest structure on the property, then use it, but make sure that the antenna is at least 10' higher than the highest point of the roof. If you have more than 150' of cable to run between the TV set and the antenna, I strongly suggest buying high-quality RG-11 cable, rather than RG-6 cable, as the line losses in RG-11 are significantly less than RG-6, and you will need to minimize signal loss in your location.
Thanks, I Appreciate your Advice! I am going to follow it to the "Tee"
and Hopefully be able to watch some Good TV
(That is IF watching TV can Really be called Good?)
Thanks for the Information!!
