TV Antenna

[Robert Johannesen]

Hi Joe,
Yes, the antenna came from BB several days ago. It is officially described
as a "5MS921 Omni State, amplified (boosts up to 20 dB in both VHF & UHF)
omni-directional (HDTV Ready)" round antenna that is 21" in Diameter (the
original was 22" in Dia.) and 1 inch high at the edge. It was made by
AntennaCraft, P.O. Box 1005, Burlington, Ia. 52601. It also mounts with four
bolts or screws. BB sells it for $86.83 and refers to it as part #0081595 and
it looks just like the original. I bought a cheaper one from Camping World that
never really performed up to par. I will check the coax and amp. power leads
before I finish the install. If I measure the resistance and compare it to a
separate external cable, I should be able to rule out the original coax cable as
a source of the weak signal.
I have to repair the aluminum base brackets for the lift arms and make a
few improvements, so I'll probably fire up the TIG welder after the holidays.
We'll be in the Bird from 22 Dec - 2 Jan going from Texas to Iowa and back to
South Padre and Kendalia for New Years (weather permitting). I have been just
finished fixing my Primus heating system in preparation for the Iowa weather.
Replaced one control panel and one pump relay and they work great!! So the
antenna was pushed down the list.
Was that more than you wanted to know?

Bob,

replace the round one they have on the early model? send picture if
