Which Antenna do you use?

Unread post by radioandtventhusiast »

I got an antenna for my birthday last Saturday. It's a used Clear TV antenna, which is an "as seen on TV" antenna that is not well liked by antenna experts. I get between 30-39 stations from my home in Toledo. I was just wondering what antenna you guys use, for those on here with one.

I just made a couple Hoverman style antennas to use. Very simple to build and virtually no cost. Lots of youtubes on them.

I still subscribe to cable, but when there was a dispute between a local channel's owner and the cable company, I went to Ace Hardware and purchased this puppy. It worked perfectly, getting all available local OTA channels and associated subchannels.

The one I currently use for my FM radio and also for local reception of WBKB and its subchannels is installed my garage rafters.

I paid half that in 2021 for it. Works great for my use case. Mine is connected to a Channel Master Pre-amp.
