I get poor cell & WiFi reception out there. A WiFi range extender & decent directional antenna are on my short list to fix that for other reasons. Some what moot for my radio issues now that the FM antenna is working great.

Put up Winegard HD-6010 HD FM Radio Antenna here today on a 10' pole. It ends up sitting a little over 6' above the roof now. Plugged the antenna in & got noticably better signal than I had been getting. Plugged in the problematic Home Depot light & nothing happened. Yay! problem seems to be...

My whole shop is metal, so there will be a little better than average shielding action. I expect it also works in reverse making signal inside worse, so an antenna outside should help anyways. I've had a box of RG-6 quad shielded for years that I'm still working on. Have the good compression...

I have an external antenna coming, there's a handful for $20-30 on Amazon with good ratings. We'll see if that helps. Will be sticking it up on a 12' pipe, probably about 8' above the roof. I'm hoping I can get great signal even with the problematic Home Depot light on. So far I'm 1 for 2 on the...

Gah! Keeps eating my posts. One yesterday didn't make it, neither did my one a few minutes ago. Grainger fixture/ballast doesn't seem to be causing any more interference. 1 of the 2 Home Depot still kills the radio, the other one causes a little interference, noticeable, but not enough for me...

They are on different circuits already. I have 2 subpanels in the garage (1 small one was mounted already & the other small one was just laying around, so mounted it on the other side of the wall). My stereo is some kind of 5.1 surround sound system I picked up up at a swap meet for $20 wth the...

I'm trying to get some lights for my barn/shop. Some 8' fixtures from Home Depot with 4 4' T8 bulbs, the light is great, but I promptly realized they killed the reception on my radio. I've been searching for a decent low bay 8' light , preferably with 4' T8 bulbs for a couple weeks now trying...

Ya, there just don't seem to be any oil furnaces here in CO. Probably looking at a propane one & a separate tank I guess. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

We are 3 months in to settling into our new (1978) house, 5 acres & shop/barn. My shop use to be just a tin barn that got extended years ago. The more shop half has 4"? foam panels on the roof & walls. Not well sealed at all, but a lot better than nothing. Given I'm in Colorado & it's snowing...
