Pelham, NH: Antenna help

I am using a similar rotor, which may be a clone of same. No problems, except the need to re-calibrate the aim occasionally.

YMMV

Welcome to AVS. No, you're not doing it correctly. Do take the time to look at other threads so you'll know some things. Just a few minutes would have told you..

1. We don't accept "generic" thread titles. Every title needs to be specific as possible. See my edit.

2. ALL antenna help threads MUST have a location in the thread title. Again, see my edit

3. We don't allow bumping to get the post count up. Post a bit ly link without the http stuff or just give us your zip code. Or ask a Mod. We can insert the link FOR you. There are ways so you don't have to litter the thread with bumps. Once again, see my edit to your first post. No trouble at all. Happy to do it.

4. Also, "loose" means "not tight." You want your pants loose. You don't want to LOSE signal. Grouchy, today, ain't I?

Please take time and at least minimal effort to look around to see how we do things here. It'll help you in the long run.

TV fool link in post #1 doesn't work because it is broken in the middle (when I tried it), but link in post #3 quote does:

What power for what? You're going to bypass the power for the rotor?

What antenna are you going to put on the rotor?

What signals do you want? If you are happy with the signals coming from about 170 degrees, you don't need a rotor. Less things to go wrong in the middle of winter.

Thanks, Rabbit

When i lived in Salem (next town over) i used a radio shack VU-120 and was very happy with it Got all boston stations ,Plus 2 ri stations and 9 and 11 on VHF from the back side just dandy! the only issue i had there in salem and where i am now In Machester is getting 50

I'm in Milford NH so my situation is a little different. I use separate VHF and UHF antennas. That eliminates the need for a rotor other then playing and fine tuning.

9 and 11 on on VHF and the Boston stations are UHF. There are couple of new Binnie stations on VHF low but so far they are no show and from what I have have seen on Cable I'm not all that interested in the programming. I assume they are going to be translators of WYCN and WBIN out of Nashua but I'm just guessing.

Think about what stations you really want to watch and see if you can come up with a way to do it without a rotor.

Yes;
