Hi.

I recall someone saying that combining both DB2 bowtie and rabbit ears
antennae is possible to get improved OTA TV digital signals? At my new
location, I was able to get decent digital signals with a set of rabbit
ears (Terk --

I think I got it back in 2003/2004) if I have it at a specific
position (300 degrees based on a compass in NW direction; left antenna
aimed about at its 40 degrees (used a protractor) and right antenna
pointing vertically up; less than 20 miles according to tvfool and
antennaweb).

There is only station that I cannot get very good signals is channel 58
(KLCS). I don't really need it, but it would be nice to have for some
educational stuff (really rare that I even watch it). Since there are
rooms for improvements and not all stations are at 100% (e.g., KABC7
gives me 60%-70%), I was wondering if adding a bowtie antenna would
improve this. I did try using it by itself, but not all stations were
good. Some were good (100%). It's big and heavy too so moving and
rotating is impossible compared to the rabbit ears with its tiny base at
the bottom.

If it is possible to combine both, then what would I need? Thank you in
advance. :)
