Pros & Cons
Pros
It's as compact as it can be and fits nicely inside my attic. Both antennas are in my attic about 4 feet apart. It fits well in the rafters.
Philadelphia is by far the largest served by a vhf-lo station, which is wpvi (abc) transmitters 15 and 40 miles away all strong and pixel free except in the worst weather conditions. I still get all the tstorm and tornado tracking from the local stati... Read More

I finally ran across the winegard compact antenna.
Even if an individual screw had escaped from it's internal packaging there was no way it could have left the box.
Antennae seemed to install well but packaging is leaves something to be desired.
Competitiveness
I've been a fan of winegard products for many years, so i looked to them for a smallish antenna for installation in my daughter's home.
The reason it’s not a 5-star review is the confusing instructions.
A friend gave me a new lava 8008 antenna which worked great, but once it had to deal with any type of splitter i would lose lo/... Read More
You'll know you need one if after installing your winegard reception is still not great.

This antenna will receive low vhf channels many will not because it has very long vhf elements to do so without being a 10 12 foot long antenna

You need an antenna with very long elements in order to pick up low vhf

I had pretty decent luck with uhf and hi vhf but could not get lower vhf channels which would be the 54 megahertz and up
