and putting it on a pole at the top of one of our trees. Anyone
ever tried an antenna in a tree? Will the sway cause problems
when windy? I'm not worried about the mechanics or electrical
details (I'm an electrical engineer), but I'm wondering if a
moving antenna (wind sway) can lock onto the signal properly.

I use that antenna (actually the 2608), it pulls in all of the
stations I should get and I'm 50 miles away from the towers, but
quality is questionable...I guess I see how well it deals with New
England Ice/Snow this winter. The rotor is a novelty as I
discovered that once pointed to towers I rarely use it, not to
mention it's difficult to know where your antenna is pointed since
the control box provides no directional feedback. If the Lava
antenna doesn't survive a New England winter, I'll probably go with
a Clearsteam 2 Antenna as I've heard good reports on it.

As for using it on a tree, not sure I would go that route, can you
mount it on a roof top? Tree's will have minimal affect on the
signals coming through them. <br>
