Henry,
I have seen that style, but don't have any info regarding that. I think RCA used a similar one as well. I'm wondering what I can do to increase the signal strength if this existing antenna. I saw the posting for the longwire adapter, but not really sure I want a 100 foot wire hanging from the house. There must be a better solution out there. Any Ideas?

Glenn

Happily back in Illinois..not.
