For the TV we use the larger Shakespeare "disc" style omni directional

stations from 50 miles away. It is, however, 8 year old technology.

Thanks Jeff,
where did you mount the disc or is it inside the cabin?


Its on the mast, under the radar.

At this frequency, height is important, so being able to elevate it
some is important.

On our previous boat, we used the smaller version, but rather than
attach it to the mast, we laid it out on the boom, as high as we could
get. The results were mixed. A Practical Sailer review claimed the
21 inch disk was much better than the 14, but again, this is old info.

Much depends on your needs and location, so the first thing to try is
some very cheap solution, such as the wire "T" that comes with FM
radios.
