Good luck with your installation, check back in and let us know how it worked for you. Now looking for a Sugar Mamma to take me away from all this. Maybe marriage was not so bad after all, had lots of property for very large antennas with no noise issues. Works very well, only issue is radom interference which kills all incoming signals and cycles on and off. From there, it feeds a active Stridesberg Multicoupler (don't know why I had to go with additional preamplification) outputting to my R8600, R9000, and Galaxy R 530. I've installed a Par End Fed (Universal Radio) in my attic and in WWII resistance style, made a small hole in the ceiling (landlord loves that, but he's cool with it, always pay my rent 30-60 days ahead and do minor maintenance work for him) dropping the feed line into my setup.

Now divorced, I reside in a wood framed two story 4 unit building just outside of Pittsburgh. You simply have to evaluate your receiving site and determine which option is best.
