Thought it would be useful to resurrect this thread since I found a street photo of the Channel Master FM Probe on the back-side of Pop's house in Massachusetts.
It was my first FM antenna installed sometime around 1976-77. The photo was likely taken in late 1994.
Hope the photo isn't blurred too much from uploading. There was a discone (45-450 MHz) mouthed on the rear south dormer face.
The following is a re-post of an installation sketch drawn on a 2014 photo. See two soffit brackets in RED.
This is a way for most users to get away with an OUTDOOR beam antenna on a rotator that's inconspicuous from the street.
The Channel Master FM Probes have worked GREAT over the years with McIntosh tuners.
IMHO an outdoor beam antenna on a rotator is essential for LOW DISTORTION FM reception, especially for Dx'ing Mc tuners with variable selectivity.
