I have been looking for a UHF only outside TV antenna or plans on
how to construct a double bow tie like antenna. Right now I have a 50
foot short run of RG-59 to an upstairs patio post. At the end of the
coax run I user an old TV antenna transformer to interface to the 300
ohm lead from a single bow tie (that came with old TV). This setup
works but surely there is something better. We are not that far from
the transmission sites but an inside antenna will not work.

First, go to http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/Address.aspx and find out where
your stations are, and how big an antenna you need.
www.warrenelectronics.com sells all the stuff you will need. If you operate
any HF or VHF, you might want to get a UHF only mast mounted amplifier, to
keep TVI out. I have the ChannelMaster 7775, which works well. Ditch the
RG59, and get decent RG6 coax.
