THE RIGHT TELEVISION ANTENNA FOR Answer To Poor Reception May Be On Your Rooftop A WAY up on your roof, where most . people pay little attention to it, rests what may well be the key to sat¬ isfactory televiewing—your antenna. For most viewers it may come as a shock to learn that engineers con¬ tend these antennas—and they num¬ ber more than 15,000,000 throughout the Nation—should not be lightly re¬ garded. For example, Harold Harris, vice president of Channel Master Corp., one of the largest antenna pro¬ ducers, says that an average set with an excellent antenna will outperform a top set with a poor antenna. So let’s look into the subject. Chief factor in the selection of an antenna is distance. Viewers living near the telecasting station are said to be in a “primary” area. Those in the suburbs are in a “secondary” area, while people living far out in the country are classified as “fringe” area video viewers. Each group needs Here are some of the various antennas available to televi¬ sion viewers. Each is designed to meet a specific need and to aid in overcoming reception difficulties due to distance or location. Right one can prove a boon. a different type of antenna installa¬ tion and producers have developed a variety of types to meet ordinary or special needs of all set-owners. Other factors to consider are: 1. Type of terrain. The flatter the land, the farther a TV signal can travel. 2. The presence of tall build¬ ings, hills, or other reflect¬ ing surfaces. These cause “ghosts” on the TV screen. 3. The number of television stations serving the area. These may be VHF, (Chan¬ nels 2 through 13) or UHF (Channels 14 through 83.) The function of an antenna is to pick the picture wave out of the air and feed it to the set. The antenna is an integral part of the television set itself. Electronic engineers have out-
