Have you ever tried to get a clear picture, "next to the TV
transmitter station"? The radiation pattern on the transmitting antenna
leaves almost no signal in the shadow of the tower. I had to point the
OTA antenna towards another tower a half mile away to get enough signal
to monitor the 5 MW EIRP signal at the Channel 55 tower in Orange City,
Florida. People within a half mile of the tower base couldn't get a
clear signal.
