Question 1

Is anyone able to provide feedback on how this antenna works in a mountainous region 40 miles from transmitters?

Accepted Answer

I'm using this antenna in a remote, hilly, wooded area 49 miles from the main towers where they say reception is impossible.  Most locals have huge big towers for their antennas.  This is a retreat cabin and not our main home.  We would have been happy to get one or two stations.  We get about a dozen.  We are thrilled with this antenna.  We have friends with a similar setup and they bought the antenna on our recommendation.  Same results and they're thrilled.  Note:  We both tried a preamp of the correct size for the antenna and it made the reception bad.  Works fine for us without a preamp and as-is right out of the box.  Of course, we both are only running 50' of cable with no splitters so if you're running 100' or more of cable and trying to feed 2-3 tv's, you would probably benefit from a preamp.Anyway, that's our experience.  Yours may vary but worth a try.

Question 2

Do you need a pre amplifier with this antenna?

Accepted Answer

No sir. We live 28 miles E/SE from Atlanta Ga. and get 25 channels with all the sub-channels along with them. I am using a Winegard LNA-200 along with a Yagi style Winegard antenna only because of the 130-foot coax cable length from the antenna to our OTA tuner down in our basement media room. Every 15 to 20 feet of coax run you use you get a drop of 1DB of antenna signal. Check this our:Size, Compatibility & Features

Question 3

Is this a multi-directional antenna or will I have to go adjust the angle on it if I want to pick up channels from 360 degrees around me?

Accepted Answer

You'll have to go to Antennaweb.com to see what signals you can receive in your area, and than angle your antenna so you can get signals from the most stations. You won't be able to get signals from 360 degrees, but maybe close to 180 degrees. Pick your favorite stations, and aim for them. I get 30+ stations, but those at the fringe of the 180 degree range, sometimes get pixelated especially with high winds and rain. Otherwise this antenna works great, very clear reception, clearer than cable.

Question 4

Stations are NE and SE of me. Don't want to mess with a rotator. Could I mount two in an attic, 1 each facing NE and SE and combine signal?

Accepted Answer

I did it, 60 mile away from two "hubs" couple station not in directional signal. Rotation will bring them in. usualy leave one spot get both areas 50+ channels
