Ahhh . . . so I have this VHF radio with an antenna high atop my mast.
Can I tap into that antenna for a TV?
Seems like it should work.

I use a special splitter to share the FM with the VHF radio. IIRC, it
has the logic to shut down the FM side when the VHF side is
transmitting. Or maybe that was the excuse to get me to pay $15 for it.

For the TV we use the larger Shakespeare "disc" style omni directional
antennae that comes with an amplifier. It does a good job of pulling
in stations from 50 miles away. It is, however, 8 year old technology.
