hi

Realize this is perhaps a long shot but cavities and filters arent my
bag...

I live in a 12 story apt building that has a master tv antenna

the standard tv type but rather a bit larger than usual

it's fed via coax and not sure whats on the roof but asume some sorta
dist amp

on each floor is a bunch of spliters to break the coax into 'ports' for
each apt bout 6 per floor

just wondering a really crazy wackey thought

would their be anyway i could use this as a hf antenna while somehow
isolating it from doing damage to the tv's , amps ???


it would be basically to be a low impact stealth install obv if i
install anything the buidlng mgt would be involved but people passing on
the street wouldn't know.

Have a discussion with building management. You management has to
accommodate the satellite dishes, per earlier FCC ruling.
You may get an understanding management team. They could actually make $$
if they updated the system for DishTV (or DirecTV). I have a friend who has
his own business (design, install, maintenance) full-time in Chicago area
for a number of management companies (apartment complexes; planned
communities). It is a good alternative to cable TV proposals or old MATV
systems.
Management companies like it .. since there is only one dish and head-end
for building (does away with porcupine dishes on side of building and
patios).

don't mean this to sound rude but perhaps ....i overlooked a thing or 2

i must be misssing something, so lets say my building puts up a sat
dish, which btw is already up there

how does this relate to my post? do you know of some way to make a
direct tv dish work for hf? ohh while simul connected for tennants tv
use?
