Disclosure: I’m the Chief Engineer for a group of television station and have worked in broadcasting for 53 years. I work on the transmission side but have also helped many viewers with reception issues over the past 37 years where I work. I've never been a fan of Winegard, but I thought I would try their model HD7698A "Long Range Outdoor" antenna. There are a couple quirks to it. It's not designed for channels 2 – 6, but most TV markets don’t have low band stations. It also does not favor the higher UHF channels, but channels 38 on up are not used by television broadcasters. It shines in the channel 7 – 13 (high band), and 14 -36 (UHF). Note: when receiving a TV station keep in mind there is an “RF” channel, and a “Virtual” channel. You design your antenna system for the “RF” channel only! The HD7698A has a rather large profile, 169 inches long, and 54 inches wide, and you need to get the antenna up over top the tower "neck" by at least 2 feet. Keep in mind the rotation radius, that when the antenna is rotated, it does not hit trees or other structures. The antenna was mounted on a 40’ Rohn 25 tower, and I used a Yaesu G-450ADC Medium-Duty Rotor. It HD7698A comes with its own balun, so you connect right to the antenna with a 75-ohm coax. Always use the rubber boot, and with a 7/16 wrench, make sure the fitting is attached to the balun snug but NOT overtightened. I used RG6 coaxial cable from the antenna to TV, 80’ long. Be sure to use a Channel Master CM-3201, or SiliconDust LPF-608M 5G/LTE filter. If you have any close by FM stations, install a CM-3202 FM Trap. These devices go just before an indoor splitter, indoor amp, or TV. On first scan I received a UHF station which was 74.42 miles on a vector of 14 degrees, but the antenna was pointed 0 degrees north. After readjusting the position of the antenna to 14 degrees, more stations were picked up on a scan. In total 28 stations were received from various communities for a total of 64 different stream choices. The antenna beamwidth is fairly sharp. Viewing a station on channel 19, 35.4 miles away, when I had the antenna at the station my signal reading was 98% on the TV, Turning the antenna 15-degrees either way and signal dropped to 68%. Turning it more, and I lost the station. I would NOT recommend using a preamp on this antenna unless you're more than 30 miles from any TV or FM RF!! The gain on this antenna is not specified as it changes with each channel. But I would grade it in the 12 - 14 dB range based on results. When either a Winegard LNA-200, or Channel Master CM7777/CM7778 were put on the antenna, the result was overload and intermodulation, and NO SIGNALS were received. Not even locals. The biggest mistake viewers have when installing TV antennas is thinking more is better. In many cases a preamp is unnecessary, and causes more problems. Also, this antenna is unnecessary if all you wish to receive is in town, local stations. As with any antenna installation, the results you get will depend on the proficiency and knowledge you have in correctly designing and building the system. In the picture the wires you see on the right are the guy wires to a 360' broadcast tower 90' away. For perspective, the fellow doing the installation is 6' 1" and he is 40' off the ground. I would give this antenna a very high rating. If you are in an area where you want out of town stations, or out in the country where there are no local signals, it does the job!

This antenna was bought to replace one of those silly 200 mile amplified antennas with the built in rotor. The older antenna had signal issues when it was windy and pretty much lost CBS although I think that was due more to CBS trying to get more subscribers for their "All Access" channel. The funny thing is that the antenna is mounted in the attic and is shielded from the weather. I realizes that I needed a bigger antenna and was deciding between this one and the Clear View model and this one had slightly better reviews and about half the price. The antenna came in good shape but one of the nuts on the U bolt was missing. Luckily, it was lying in the box. The first thing that I would check prior to assembly is the coax cartridge. It is separate from the antenna and comes in its own box. Make sure that the housing is not cracked and that the 4 forks that connect it to the antenna elements are not damaged or missing because the antenna is useless if this part is damaged and it is not easy to get. It would be easier just to exchange the antenna and that is MUCH easier to do while the antenna is still folded up and refolding the elements after extending them is not easy to do. Assembling the antenna is not difficult but you do need to be careful extending the elements, especially the small UHF ones in the front of the antenna. They are sharp on their edges and can cut you if you are not careful moving them. Also make sure that the active elements are making contact with the connection wire that runs down both sides of the boom because if they don't touch it, they don't work. The only issue I see with this antenna is the attachment of the coax cartridge. I really don't know why they needed to make it a two piece unit but they did and you need to be careful assembling it. If you look at it, you will see that it has two pairs of forks attached to a PC board. These forks connect to the two pairs of signal wires that connect to the antennas active elements, the UHF elements in the front of the antenna and the VHF in the rear. If these forks do not make contact with both pairs of these wires, then the antenna will not work properly or possibly not at all. The directions say that the direction of the cartridge is not important since both pairs of wires extend to both sides of the upper cartridge but I found that how you install it is. Make sure that the two pairs of wires in the cartridge are straight and parallel with each other. I found that putting the coax connector side in on a 45 degree angle with the wide pair of forks toward the back of the antenna easier. Make sure that the cartridge locks are properly seated and then tilt the cartridge down toward the front of the antenna until the front cartridge locks engage. You should feel some resistance as the forks seat on the signal wires. and you are done with assembly. You will notice that this cartridge assembly is not bullet proof and I suggest that during hookup, I would secure the coax to the mast prior to connect it to the antenna to prevent an accidental coax pull ripping the cartridge apart and possibly damaging it which would render the antenna useless. I was impressed with the improvement of signal strength with this antenna. I went from about 45 channels to 60 with every channel I tested coming in strong and clear, including CBS. Keep in mind that this type of antenna is highly directional and needs to be properly aimed at the stations you intend to receive signals from. If the stations you want to receive are in multiple directions from your home then this might not be the best choice of antenna for you. This antenna is also not amplified so if you have a long coax run between the antenna and the TV or distribution splitter, you might want to add a good pre-amp as close to the antenna as possible. Mine is about 5 feet away from the antenna but remember, the amp does not pull in more signals, it will only increase the strength of the signals the antenna has already picked up which is sometimes needed with long coax runs or multiple splitters in the line which all cause some signal loss.
