Videodrome,

thanks, these are all good recommendations.

The best solution would be to build an elevated platform, but that will have to wait until next year.

As for tweaking the angle of the thing, the way it's mounted would require more holes in the aluminum clad, facia board and I don't want to do that, either.

I agree with your assessment of the spliter. It's cheap enough to give it a try, however. If I do, I will report back.

Again, thanks for your advice.

John

P.s. yes, for those stations that the ST-2 pulls in, the difference is like night and day.
