Default "Panel" style UHF DTV antenna?

I do like the panel style for the reason that I can arrange 3 around a

common
mast, aimed at remote cities, and join the outputs for increased coverage.


You may encounter some undesired affects from joining antennas. If it
works, fine, but if it doesn't, consider switching among the three at the TV
set(s).

The problem is that the prime signal will be "contaminated" by signal pickup
from the other antenna(s). The degree of contamination may or not affect
reception.

Good luck.


It will suffer phase distortion. In the good old days we called that
"ghosting", now it will be signal drop outs!
