Description
I am fully vaccinated and will wear a mask if you request it.If you have a van-type vehicle (or a station wagon) you could take it assembled (but with the VHF elements folded) by tying it to the vehicle’s roof. Otherwise we might be able to disassemble it to about half its length.
Full disclosure:
I bought this antenna for testing.
It is in excellent condition because it has been stored on a patio for about a year and much of the time it is not exposed to direct sunlight.
The mast and cable are not included.
For I will test this and other antennas at your location and if it doesn’t work I will issue you a refund. The reason I only charge is because you have to provide the transportation.
You may observe me testing it in my driveway.
I tested this antenna at one spot at my difficult reception location and it received all but one of the big six national network channels and that station (FOX 40-1 on RF UHF channel 22) is very problematic with most antennas and my personal separate UHF antenna has to be in one specific place on my roof to receive it because it is the only station that is weak. All of the other stations, three UHF and two VHF, indicated 100 on my test tuner for both strength and quality and they are listed as moderate signals by the FCC at my address. All the stations are about 35 to 37 miles from me and are not line-of-sight.
I subsequently did a comparison test with this Winegard HD7698P, their biggest combination antenna that has high band VHF and a very old Channel Master Gold Medal antenna (equivalent to the current Ultra-Hi Crossfire 100 / CM-3671 that is VHF broadband) and that antenna performed a little better.
A modern alternative solution to the extraordinary length of high gain combination antennas is Denny’s Antenna Service “Stacker” that also makes attic installations possible. It is only sold direct and is 0 with free shipping. Someone flagged this listing so my link to his website had to be removed because he is not an eBay seller but it’s easy to find “Denny’s Antenna Service” on the Internet.
For pickup I am a few blocks off of 680 on the border of Pleasant Hill and Concord, California.
