You lost me there. For anybody still getting channel 2 and 6 on the VHF band, they still need long 1/4 wave antenna rods for fringe reception. It is NOT just for wind loading.
Channel 6 is one of the few channels that still uses the original frequency of 84 MHz, from where it started. Transmitter is 60 miles away from me with many mountain tops blocking the signal.
