What is the model number of the double- bowtie antennae you use in the Milw. area to receive the most OTA signals? I live on the NW side of town and am trying to get my Samsung SIRT165 a goo signal source from local broadcasts!

It's gonna be hard to find... they've discontinued it, although there may be one or two left in stores in town.

Channelmaster makes one just like it, though:

Where's a good place in town to buy an antenna?? I have some free time tomorrow. And the weather is perfect.

Try Marmax sales...I think they are in the Franklin area now...look them up. They are a wholesale distributor of things like that.

Does anyone know if they sell retail??

I guess I could "buy" this through my company, but I don't want to go through the trouble of setting up an account.

I need an antenna to make my "customer's" PCI computer card work better. That's a valid business venture??

I still have an extra (new in the box) Radio Shack double bow tie indoor antenna that I will sell to any member at my cost ($9.99) plus postage. I had bought two at clearance. Wife says for me to get rid of the junk laying around.

I was able to purchase Radio Shack double bowtie antenna just a week ago at the Brookfield store; it wasn't shown on their computer but found it in the back room - last one. He said that the computer showed about 160 of these available in the Chicago area stores, about 3 to 5 per store.

I have one of these and have a question. Where do you have yours located? I have a vaulted ceiling with no attic. Any ideas?One thing is for sure, this ugly thing can't be in the open with the wife.

How much do those double bowtie antennaes go for? Have you had really good reception with them? Please post your experiences on this forum.

They usually cost less than $10. And I'm very happy with the results. It is the best of the three antennas I've tried at home.
