RE: TV antenna troubles

Omni-directional means that an antenna is equally INEFFECIENT in all directions.*

A highly directional antenna pointed directly at the transmitting tower is certainly more efficient than an omnidirectiona antenna and, provided that all the transmitters are in the same general direction, it would be the best antenna for a home, business, etc.

I really don't think anyone wants to get up in the middle of a game or show to readjust the TV antenna as the boat swings on the hook.* That is why I recommend an omnidirectional antenna for a boat.* The major marine antenna companies must agree with me because that's pretty much all they manufacture and sell.
