UHF Loop Antenna

UHF loops were bad enough for analog, and are next to useless for digital. Directivity is necessary for digital, and loops don't have it.
 
I'm using an inside loop on one of my TV's and it seems to work just fine. Might be a problem on the low power stations but I don't watch those too often. My main watchables are 3,5,10,12,15,45,61 and their subs. I do have it pointed at South Mountain and am about 8 miles from the towers as the crow flies.

In your case that was fine. I picked up all those in Ahwatukee using an unbent paper clip.

Out here in NE Mesa, directivity is mandatory. Loops don't work out here, 25 miles from the towers. Each location is pretty much unique.

When I go across I-10 into AchooLand I can get the major stations on my van mirror. :ROFLMAO:

I expected your response from out there in the boonies. :cool:
