Yes, I have. I installed TV antennas in the '60s & '70s, then became
a TV broadcast engineer in the early '70s. Later, I was a CATV engineer
designing headens and distribution systems. I have the proper tools and
test equipment to install, aim and test TV antennas. There just isn't
anything usable around here, anymore.
Um, you _do_ know you need either a digital-capable TV or one of those $50
(at Wally World) converter boxes, right?
I built one of those 4-bay bowties on youtube, and it seems to work fine,
but I'm only about 20 mi. from Mt. Whitney.
Isn't Florida almost flat, such that almost anything is line-of-sight?
Good Luck!
