Super-FAST shipping! Ordered on Saturday night, and had it in my hands Tuesday morning, and it's already installed 6 hours later. I think the price is about $10.00 too high, but I installed it and it works well, and there aren't many VHF only antennas left on the market.It's a second antenna system I have setup for a different room. My main system consists of an AntennaCraft Y10-7-13 VHF only antenna for WJRT 12, connected with a uvsj to a HDB91x yagi for my UHF channels. That runs through a Kitztech KT-200-coax (I also had to install an FM filter on the input to this amp as there is strong FM here). This is mounted up above my roof around 40ft on a pole. Then there's a 100ft run of quad-shield coax to my DVR and tv set. Works perfectly.I needed to install a second system, but Y10-7-13 aren't available anymore (AntennaCraft was shuttered due to the RadioShack bankruptcy), so I ordered this Fracarro antenna instead. I installed this on a 5ft tripod, using a 14ft mast pipe (chain-link top rail). It's a complete duplicate of my main system, except I used a AntennasDirect PA-18 UHF/VHF amp I had laying around. This second antenna setup works almost as well as the main system, even though it's at about 1/2 the height, and 80ft away from that one.I would definitely buy another one of these Fracarro's if I needed it.

Not much else to choose from.
The only VHF High Yagi I could find. All the others are discontinued. A bit of extra work required to assemble than I am used to but it works OK. The gain is a little less than I am used to as well.

Very Difficult to Assemble
Very difficult to assemble with the skimpy instructions given.
