I understand you now especially after seeing what I saw this morning.

I returned that omni antenna today. I found out that the store has an antenna combo that is spefically designed for this area. It is an antenna that points in the direction of all Tampa stations except CH10. Then they place a longer antenna above it in the direction of CH10. They told me it is a combo package and you cannot get the CH10 only antenna by itself. It is a winegard WS -1951. I thought, why didn't they show this to me in the first place vs that omni that I got? The price on that antenna is $90. I don't know how much it is with the rotator. I was tempted to get it BUT I stopped myself and have heeded your words. I am going to call one of those links you have and talk to those people about it.

For now I placed my old one up and for the time being it is working a little better than it was before and a whole lot better than that omni.

I see you what you are saying on the rotator as well. The lady told me the rotators are remotely controlled these days. I only remember the one I used to have when I was a teen, it had a wire through the house. This is a reason I didn't want to deal with it BUT if it is remote controlled that opens the door.......
