Channel 4 ang. and 6 ang are they VHF or UHF, I am woundering if I need a FM trap. On my ant , only on those two stations I get a very poor reception. Thanks Budda

Channels 2 thru 13 are VHF 14 and up are UHF.  Channel Six is on the bottom of edge of the FM radio band.  If you have interference on 6  from a nearby FM station then you would use the trap.  
This would be the problem if you lived in Delafield near the WHAD tower in Lapham  Peak Park.

I just bought a Wineguard SS-1000 square shooter ant. The picture , from 12 on up and HD, except fox 6, is the best I have ever seen. Fox 6 ang is snow , so is 4. Fox HD is still not there. But I am hopeing to make it work for 4 and 6 ang , because I like the results on the other stations so much so, I will try a trap. Thanks for the quick response. Budda.  P.S. I live around  hwy 100 and capitol and a rabbit ears gets 6 and 4 so I am thinking the ant., in some way is too strong, or it is not what I need to get what I want O-well it's fun to play.
