I would like to help a relative "re-activate" a roof-top TV antenna on a
single storey house in southern California.
From the ground, it looks to be physically in good shape, each of four
corners has 4 guy wires holding the mast, which looks to be something
close to 20 feet tall.
I need a how-to to get the antenna in shape.
It currently has its feed cable dangling on the mast, not connected to
the antenna, and the antenna is aimed about 30 degrees away from the
optimal direction.
A friend is a roofer and is somewhat familiar with antennas, and knows
how to be safe on a roof. I hope at least to procure the proper parts:
downfeed cable from the antenna, lightning arrestor, and 300 to 75 ohm
impedance matching transformer.
I need info as to the specific parts and where to get them, and also how
to take down the well-sup****ted mast and put it back up.
Thanks.
--- Joe
