<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">If you look at the one star reviews on the Winegard that I linked most seem
to me to be people could not figure out how to assemble them. Then if you
look at the antennas they push in their ads, they come assembled with built
in antennas. They can drive splitters without doing anything. Give up some
theoretical performance for a antenna for dummies approach. I read a post
on Twitter recently that suggested we should just accept the fact that half
the country is stupid. It think lacking education is a better description
but with a majority of one party saying that education is detrimental to
the country I fear for the future <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://pewrsr.ch/2T1JwvC" moz-do-not-send="true">https://pewrsr.ch/2T1JwvC</a></pre>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">I have also read
reviews where us common-folk have had difficulty assembling. I
will
admit to occasionally being in that group but can sometimes blame
on
‘cartoon instructions’: drawings instead of written words. ...It
would be funny-ha-ha if my reception problems were do to
improper antenna assembly! (I have done some testing which
by-passed
or or would other wise verify is correct.)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">In the theoretical
world there is no signal deterioration; in the real world all
sorts
of signal loss. I was reminded of and learned a lot more about it
when researching on-line not so much why I was having reception
problems but how to correct or at least work-around. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">I tend to agree
with
your statement of “it’s not half the country is stupid but
lacking education”. I’ll admit to barely having a clue as to
what’s going on under the hood of my car but I do know basic
electricity/electronics. I do call on someone else to diagnose and
repair my car. </p>
