I am currently working with Winegard on a new antenna for this area ch 7-69 for now, gain will be sufficient to receive about 60 miles away and boom length will
be aprox.  60"

Have a proto type now>  Nice compact antenna works terrific and looks great compared to the old bow-ties.  :rock:

Working on final design and price will update as I get closer to delivery.

Should get the first batch in about  3 weeks! :D

Coming very soon have the prototype up and working will see if I can get specs
from manufacturer.

Placed order on 7/5 will be about 2-3 weeks for shipment.

Price will be $59.95

This design around the prostar series antennas.

A platinum HD series is on the drawing boards and will be about 2-3 months
before they can get to it. :D

When your the only one requesting it its not a high priority, but they said
they would fulfill my request! :rock:

Best quess on price for the heavy duty series will be around $90.00 :confused:

Have received  the new antenna put up several now and work as
expected!

Working on a link for a picture.  :confused:

Boom length is 66" and the longest element is around 12".  only
3 of these for the VHF section which those 3 get progressively shorter.

UHF section similar to PR7032.  For the VHF section add 3 elements on the
back which 2 are driven elements and the back the reflector.  Again these
elements are no longer then 12".  Very compact and very acceptable by people
who would not normally want an antenna on the roof! :D

In fact I had a guy who did not want an antenna on his roof until I showed
him the new design, and he said "is that all it is"  :rock:  This is not your mom
and dads old monster antenna those days are just about gone! He said "put
it up!  I did and he was amazed!  Have several more to do in his neighborhood
now  I guess people still talk these days. :)

For questions concerning this antenna please call the following number and
I will get back to you as soon as possible! :D

You won't find this antenna anywhere in Winegards literature because this is a
special order antenna minimum  order is quanity of 60.

Will work on getting a spec sheet from winegard on this antenna that I can e-mail
to anyone who requests it.

Have you received channel 6 on all you installs?  How does analog look?

I second this question. Also what kind of range are we talking? I am moving from Tosa to Sturtevant in Sept which will put me from 10 miles from the antennas to around 30-40 miles and I need some sort of antenna to go on the giant boom on the house.

Have received channel 6.1 on occasion.  Circumstances have to be just right to
pick this one up! :bang:

This antenna is purely designed for the digital channels VHF 7- UHF 69
this antenna WILL NOT pickup lowband.

Range is aprox. 50-70 miles again depends on height and other factors, this
is not a magical antenna just a new smaller design for the future new channels.
What that means is it just eliminates the low band section  with all the long elements for those who want digital channels ONLY. :)
