Irv, Have you any idea about the lengths which cable TV operators go to to keep their networks RF-tight (ingress and egress)? Feed an outlet into antenna? Maybe not such a good idea!! Yeah, that's likely to cause problems. The rabbit ears will "leak" signals that the cable company has no right to be broadcasting... some of the cable channels overlap with air-traffic control frequencies, amateur radio, and so forth. Complaints are likely to arise, either because the egress leakage from the cable through the rabbit ears interferes with licensed radio services, or because a licensed transmitter somewhere in the area of the club leaks back into the cable and wipes out TV reception for other cable customers. Upon locating the source of the problem, the cable company *might* be polite enough to simply insist on disconnecting and terminating the cable outlet in question. Or (depending on how irritated their Cable Guy is that day) they might just cut off the cable service to the club entirely. -- Dave Platt AE6EO Hosting the Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |
