whats the smallest antenna out there? as you can see im only a couple of miles away
or will an amp on my current antenna help

i get channel 10 but its hit or miss

thanks

Use a small VHF high-band yagi like a Winegard YA-6713 or an AntennaCraft Y5-7-13 aimed at channel 10 and use the joinTenna to combine the two antennas. This will solve your problem.

Buy a antenna rotor and turn the antenna.

You might find out that the multipath will be increased by two different antenna's pointed in two different directions, and you will have more problems in the long run then if you just used a antenna rotor.

Multipath with a digital signal might mean that you have a 100 % signal, but no reception for a station that you can practically see the tower, but a station 100 miles away on a good tropo day - will jump all over it.

Back in the analog days, all it meant was that you had ghosting or a second station flopping on and off your picture and sound. With digital it is a lot worse.

Winegard just reintroduced the YA-6713, but it's availability may be spotty. There really isn't anything wrong with the AntennaCraft Y5-7-13, though.

You have found the right join-tenna, however. Amazon has a good deal on it, from what I have seen

Summit Source is now stocking the 6713. http://www.summitsource.com/winegard-ya6713-yagi-prostar-vhf-tv-antenna-13-element-offair-broadband-channel-713-high-definition-local-channel-outdoor-signal-aerial-red-zone-part-ya6713-with-50-ft-coax-cable-p-4588.html

thanks alot, i think the 6713 is smaller, didnt think i needed anything too big for a distance of 6 miles i need, wish i could find a smaller one but thanks alot for all your help everyone
