Who really offers the best performing digital TV antenna?
That’s a good question and the one way to know for certain is to bring the top performing antennas together at one location and test each antenna under identical conditions. We decided to perform a head to head antenna comparison test and let the chips fall where they may. You may be a little surprised at the results. TEST LOCATION: 3758 W. Washington Rd. Ithaca, Mi. 48847. DATE: 4/3/10 TEST SPECIFICS. Each antenna was installed at an elevation of 10 feet above ground level. A total of 18 TV channels were tested. A rotor was used to turn and precisely aim each antenna to obtain the best possible signal strength from each of the 18 channels. Fifty feet of RG 6 solid copper coax cable was ran directly from the antenna to a Winegard RC1010 HD digital set top tuner. No signal amplifier was in use. Below are the results of the test. In the column under each antenna listed in the grid is the best signal strength percentage that could be obtained by that antenna on the channel number listed i
