I live 50m from TV transmitters, want to enhance ch9 (187mHz) without
using a roof antenna and have a Terk TV-5 amplified set top antenna. Is
it possible to place directors ahead of its dipole and a reflector
behind to increase the forward gain and null some of the multipaths?
Dick

The TV-5 antenna is an angular figure 8 in the horizontal plane having
an overall span of 64cms but measuring around the fig.8 periphery is
86cms. In order to give ~ 8dB gain I was proposing to place 2 directors
in front of the fig.8 and a reflector behind with 0.15 wavelength
spacings and was seeking comments on the idea.
