what tv d'you get?

Interesting...I'm assuming you hooked into the ground wire of the outlet?
About 3 years ago I had two antennaes installed. One in the attic (that had been put there years ago to catch over the air cowboy games) and then another I mounted on a mast. At first the one of the mast was really directional, but now it's pretty solid.
