In Reply to: RE: Antenna for Sony XDR-F1HD ? posted by jimmyjames on June 17, 2009 at 11:37:24
I've been waiting two months for the antenna guy to come to install my four-element Yagi on the roof to see what my little Sony will really do. Tonight, I was told maybe he could get to me in July. Dang!
But ... even with the Yagi a few feet off the ground, I pulled in some great DX tonight. My local NPR outlet, WVIA, started to waver and then, all of a sudden, the digital display lit up with WJCT - from Jacksonville, Fla.
Now, that's a long-haul FM signal to Central Pennsylvania!
I could put it above the ceiling at work and run some white coax or antenna wire down from it along the wall. Problem is the roof is corrugated galvanized but the walls are just gypsum. Will the yagi work?
"E pur si muove...And yet it moves"
That metal roof won't help at all. You'll be better off with it outside - several feet above that metal. Good luck.
I had trouble with Austin TX coming in over a local station here. I am south of Houston.
The Austin NPR was coming in every morning. It is a hard three hour run up the highway to Austin. This is with a circular polarized antenna mounted on a 4' X 4' plywood in the attic.
