I have a Radio Shack VU-90XR that does a great job most of the time for DTV stations here in Hampton Roads, VA. My biggest problem is dealing with multipath signals that occur on some of the stations depending on weather conditions. What I would like to do is narrow the beam width on this antenna somewhat to both increase the gain and reduce the sensitivity to ghost signals. All the transmitters are located in less than a 10 degree arc from my location.
Question: Can I decrease the beam width by adding more directors to the from of the antenna? Based on what information I have been able glean from several sites this seems like the right approach but I have seen nothing definitive. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
