The father inlaw needed to put up a new UHF antenna, then the store said to use coax cable as it's "better" than the 300 ohm flat wire. He didn't have any and hadn't bought it by this time so next he had to add on a $100 two part amplifier. He added this to his 300 ohm flat wire and got 15 stations, but took the advise of the store and bought coax cable that I helped him run the next day. With the coax, we lost all but 2 stations. We did check all our fittings on the coax with a meter to make sure we had good connections and no shorted wires. We changed the coax back to 300 ohm only from the antenna to the amplifier and we then got 18 stations. He has worked with radio signals for the past 60 years and he said that the 300 ohm was better for the UHF signal with less loss than with coax. He is 60 miles from the signal and now has 100% in both signal Strength and Quality. Wish you luck!

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
