We are situated between two main sources. All the Tampa stations are
south west. All the Orlando stations are north east. Like 8'o clock and
2 o'clock.
One of the round ministates worked well on about a dozen strong
stations. The lobe was so wide you never had to vary it for one or the
other direction (no jockying between stations). But admittedly little
gain and rejection. Better than rabbit ears. Good in a restricted area.
