Winegard HA-0130 antenna... might buy

[Lothlorian]

This is the antenna I am thinking of mounting where the old TV antenna was. it only has a 0 to 20 mile range. It looks like a good fit.

VHF/UHF/FM travel antenna picks up stations in all directions without rotator. Opens and closes like an umbrella, stores inside weatherproof tube. Includes weatherproof housing with rain cap, 75 ohm cable with connectors, mounting hardware.Omni-Directional, means antenna will receive signal in all directions. Non-amplified.

Did you get that antenna? If so, how does it perform? We are looking at options now. Would like to put it where our crank antenna was located on our 1965. Thanks!

I did and honestly it only works a little bit better then just plain old rabbit ears. We just watch tv for the news and the weather. The closest TV station, which is a small town 35 min away and our best pick up. The next station is equally as far and it comes in every once in awhile. We do get these other specialty stations that show the old early 60's shows but that is it. I had it near Chicago and used it and Was able to pick up all the local stations. I also got those same stations with the rabbit ears.

I will probably buy a sattelite dish some day.

Thanks for your input. I still hope to find the vintage Braund folding antenna but in the meantime I did order this one. Will see how it works.
