This is a
good medium distance antenna. Its
reflector allows much more radiation out the back compared to the Channel
Master 4-Bay. This in turn lowers its
forward gain. It out performs the Channel
Master below channel 28.
The
combination of high gain, low weight, and low wind resistance make this antenna
an excellent choice when a high tower is necessary.
On a lot with
many obstructions (trees) searching for a strong signal spot is advantageous. But the best spot might be a difficult place
to mount an antenna. The low weight of
this antenna is a big help in these situations.
