I live in DeForest just north of Madison and I doubt the local Fox channel (47) will be in HD by the second week of FB.  Anyone have any suggestions on me receiving the fox 6 signal from Milwaukee here?    ty

MOVE:D   No seriously we have people here less than 20 miles who are having difficulty with FOX 6.  Then again there are a few of us half way to MAD town who are able to get it.  Possibly a home made antenna, an 8 bay CM UHF at the prime focus of a 12' or larger C-band dish as the main reflector pointed toward Milwaukee, maybe.:eek:

Just a few more thoughts.  Many years ago I used to have a 5' parabolic UHF antenna.  That antenna was the best UHF antenna I ever had.  It's too bad they are no longer made.  I still see a few of them around though.  WestBend radio station has one on their tower.  Although I cannot offer you any concrete suggestions.  I have an extra 1 meter dish laying around that was damaged in shipment when I bought it.  I had thoughts of experimenting with that and mounting a UHF bow tie in front of it at the LNB focal point and seeing how that would work for getting Greenbay.  Ya have to be creative and resorcefull I quess.;)
