Awesome for the price!

Dispite having 2 separate UHF antennas along with a VHF antenna on the mast I could only recive VHF channels. Given this antenna was only [$] and had great reviews I decided to give it a shot.

Needs TLC

"Was told to buy this for the new digital signals. Wrong choice for my area. Had to CONSTANTLY rotate for signal. Did find better results when I added an amplifier (though signals are less than 30 mi)and if when I tilted about 20/25 degrees from being vertical... tried 90 degrees - no work.
