RW> I got it, thanks. When I get a chance, I intend to modify it a bit with a
RW> line pointing to Texas. :o)
 
So you'll know where Las Brisas is?  (-:  Beautiful country out that way.
 
RW> Next February, over the air television as you know it, won't be around
RW> anymore. All of the analog stuff will be shut down. The digital
RW> television stations will all be in the UHF band. If you want to watch a
RW> station that's 50 miles away, you'll need a long boom yagi to get it.
 
Can't do that stuff anymore.  I used to be fearless when I was younger and
didn't worry about falling, but now when I get on some place that's high
up, it's difficult to concentrate.
 
RW> That's what I'm using now and it's aim point has to be very precise. If
RW> it isn't on the station, then you get the stuff that Tom was talking
RW> about, sometimes the signal goes away completely.
 
That's reminiscent of my earlier days with an outdoor antenna.  Sometimes
it would get out of alignment and I'd receive two blurry stations on the
setting of one.  I'd have to go outside, climb a ladder to the roof, climb
another to the top of the mast (that's what we called them back then) and
manually turn the antemma until the video and audio became stable.  I grew
tired of that rather fast and bought an electric motor to do that for me. 
It wasn't ALWAYS precise, but it saved me a lot of climbing.
