One thing a person can do when installing an antenna is to make sure it is grounded really well. One trick I do as a Ham radio operator is dig a deep hole at the base of the antenna, drive a copper grounding rod into the center of the hole, then surround it with salt, then make sure it is attached with a metal strap to the bottom of the antenna pole. Occasionally pour water on top to make a really good ground.

It would even be better if a person could run a ground line down to the lake's shoreline and sink about 30 feet of bare wire into the water. This would give you the entire surface of the lake as a ground wave collector.

Or, just call the tv cable company over in Crowder and have them set you up. Good luck and please, continue to leave the tin foil on hubby's head. If he tries to pull it off, quickly disconnect your tv antenna, even if you have cable by then, and insist he put it back on.

Hey, have you guys moved in yet?
