Noise??????? Off a 6065!!!!!!!!!!

Noise on most tuners tried chez vous?

Hmmm. Strange that.

Is there a rotator, too?

What does the T101's MP meter tell you!?

What distance/s & direction/s away from you - are the transmitters for your desired stations?

Check all connections, including at the antenna, first. Then upgrade the coax to RG6, OR RG11, but make sure it has a solid-copper centre wire, not coated steel. Carefully seal all exterior connections.

Only THEN consider a 2nd 6065P stacked about 10 feet above t'other, also use a single combiner / balun - from 150 ohms bal. to 75 unbal. NB This maximises the ROI on the existing 6065P, which an APS10 would NOT! ;-)!!! You could also try staggering the top 6065P back a bit. This narrows the pattern of the array both in 'train' and in azimuth.

Also, discuss at Tuners group, where you can find (Brian Beezeley's? IIRC) antenna 'ideas / modelling' site, which includes 'stagger-stacking'.

Good luck!

'listening' out!
